Book excerpt: First published in 1905, German poet Christian Morgenstern's Im Reich der Interpunktionen (In the Land of Punctuation) is a comic poem on the flow of language--and the breaks in it. Punctuation signs are markers of pauses, interruptions, asides and stops. But they also point to intonation, intent and emotion ... a fact used brilliantly by Morgenstern to turn them into characters with their own agendas, in a drama that careens towards an inevitable end. It is a fun romp, and yet the political undertones are unmistakable, suggesting menacing systems of control. Adding a new dimension to the connection between marks and meaning, graphic designer Rathna Ramanathan illustrates this tranlated version of the poem with punctuation signs. She evokes older traditions like calligrams and the art of the Russian Constructivists, while developing her own ingenious--and very contemporary--idiom. Her visual grammar balances bold experimentation with precise communication, creating an artist's book at the crossroads of language, graphic design and politics. This signed, limited edition book has been silkscreen-printed and bound by hand on recycled handmade paper, at Tara Books' print workshop, run on fair trade practices."--Back cover.
