THE SECRET LIVES OF PUNCTUATIONS, VOL. I, reveals for the first time the secret lives of those gestures so small that they are often taken for granted or overlooked: punctuations.

Volume I of PUNCTUATIONS reveals the resonant—and quirky—lives of the semi-colon, colon, ellipsis, parenthesis, strike-throughs, question mark, and the blank line.

The book also offers a decolonialism scholar’s perspective on punctuations by Dr. Leny M. Strobel, as well as a visual art relationship with punctuations through the paintings of Eve Aschheim. Finally, the book offers postcard-art and a performance project entitled “The Secret Lives of Blank Lines” by the author who is not just a poet but also a conceptual/performance and visual artist.
