me to Linda M Just : You mention Barbara Stauffacher Solomon. She sent a picture of the books in her studio – tottering stacks on her desk, a wall of books crammed on shelves. A stack of paper for making the pages of her books, a jar of Elmer’s rubber cement. She sent the proofs of her latest book: fierce and angry, bursting off the pages. Linda Just to me : Starstrike happens less often to me these days, but I have to admit a little audible gasp at your story, especially with the prominent bottle of Elmer’s rubber cement. Fierce is such an excellent descriptor – the glue in her layouts always reads like the aftermath of battle, and begs the question whether to read the paper cuts as wounds to nurse, or bandages to heal.
