The cover of An Orange, A Syllable by Gillian Sze. The cover is a photo of an open window. A long, sheer curtain covers the left half of it, and cream shutters are visible through the right half. Sunlight suffuses the photo
Read @amandaearl.bsky.social's review of Gillian Sze's An Orange, A Syllable (pub. @ecwpress.bsky.social) in Issue 33!
I feel an intimate connection between speaker and reader. Sze writes about language through the lenses of parenthood, relationships and art.
