Grammars for Jess & Twenty-Two Cropped Sets

Author: Marina La Palma 

Publisher: Kelsey Street Press (1981)

A series of short pieces consisting of quasi-biographical tales with a lyrical syntactical-recombinant process that begins once the "story" is told. The phrases can amplify the meanings of the tale, but they may also distort or even sabotage its original implications. The process can go on quite indefinitely and so is, at some point, cropped to make way for the next tale.
