Grace Notes

by Meg Tuite, David Tomaloff, Keith Higginbotham (Illustrator)

A stunning collaboration from Meg Tuite (prose), David Tomaloff (poetry), and Keith Higginbotham (collages), who've blended their work together in a powerful display that is all of these things: crushing, mind altering, odd in the ways that shine. The pieces in GRACE NOTES search the hearts and consciousness/subconsciousness for any trace of what is unexplored in the human web, to lay it out, without apology.

[Kathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a gorgeous book, artistic in concept and execution, a truly collaborative effort. It includes the prose of Meg Tuite, David Tomaloff's poetry, and mosaic artwork by Keith Higginbotham. For me, it felt best to consume this book slowly, reading/viewing one grouping at a time, over the course of a few weeks. The writing is powerful and the images very arresting. I should also say that the design of the book and its cover were especially beautiful. I loved it all, but particularly Meg Tuite's prose, which felt like hybrid prose-poetry, steeped in lush language and imagery. An excellent collection.

There is some seriously good writing going on in both sets of the text sections, and I love the artwork, but the best is the way they interact with each other. Tuite's and Tomaloff's pieces have this sharp conversation/argument/some kind of repartee going on, and Higginbotham's illustrations seem to graphically depict that. It's a beautiful book, but it's even better for being interesting.

I like this book a lot. Go figure. If you have read this book, I like you too. Unless you'd rather not be liked. If you have read this book, I can respect that. I mean, I can respect it either way. But it would be be pretty okay with me if you happened to have read this book too, you know what I mean?
