Absolutely loving Tina Bass's book Mouthings!!! So surprising and
refreshing. Yes I really really needed this ethnographic interlude. I
am sharing it with girlfriend who teaches nursery and reads poetry now

publishing this. Fantastic.
Sometimes the simplest speech acts carry the most complexity!
cheers,
Marcus
