Theory and Method
A notebook, at first pencil thin, grows thick with ink. It
fills and
fattens with notes, names, numbers, references, quotations, tales, lines,
lyrics, and then it abruptly ends, closes, shuts. It cannot be written
again. It cannot be written over. To attempt to do so is to become
indecipherable, to remove all the white space from around the black ink,
that white space that lets this black ink speak as much or as little as it
does.
