Orphan Leaf Review #1 | |

This is a new enterprise and the format is as important as what is on the pages. It is presented as an artistic-type book with a thick card cover. It is A5 and all the pages are somewhat different — different in texture, size, shape etc. Some contain poems and others prose, looking as though they have been lifted from different books, articles, etc, and there is even a black and white image and a music sheet. As the title indicates, and as stated on the back cover: orphan leaf n. a single page apparently torn from a book.To me it is more interesting to look at and browse through than read in detail, and as it is the first issue it could develop in a number of different directions. I enjoyed this little verse called RUGGISH THUG: Thug I want a thug A thug is what I . . . want rugged I want a rugged thug I want him to be ruggish | ||
