"We imagine in the shape we know ... metaphor leading us backwards" - from Jan Bervin's "clouds" book, which is actually titled A Non-Breaking Space.
This is one of the early spreads -
There are 27 spreads - do go look at them all at http://jenbervin.com/html/clouds.html#
She says of the book: "I determined from the start that this book would be scanned and viewed online through Ugly Duckling Presse. This allowed for a certain abandon in making it—no editioning process, no worries about whether the materials or methods were archival, and no production budget. I wanted it to be a free book, one called up on screen by demand—for it to exist as needed. When I give readings from this text, I bring the paper book for everyone to handle. I like to think that the object will eventually die from touch."
