In Between

Short texts are presented in between cover images by Miranda Maher in this hand sewn chapbook by Barbara Henning.

After the pharmicist sends the boy to the doctor, he agrees to remove his eyebrow ring. Prior to the witch’s refusal to offer a remedy, his mother puts a stake in her womb. In the interim, tangled and indecipherable designs are tattooed on our breasts by big Teddy in Brooklyn.

Praise

In Between is a playful serious examination of the pleasures and losses of safe living as opposed to the thrills and danger of following the paths of desire. —Mark DuCharme, Introduction, Left Hand Books reading, Boulder, April 19, 2002.
