Book excerpt: Poetry. Art. Collaboration. An unlikely marriage of print and digital, BETWEEN PAGE AND SCREEN chronicles a love affair between two characters, P and S. The book has no words, only inscrutable black and white geometric patterns that, when coupled with a webcam, conjure the written word. Reflected on screen, the reader sees him or herself with open book in hand, language springing alive and shape- shifting with each turn of the page. The story unfolds through a playful and cryptic exchange of letters between P and S as they struggle to define their relationship. Rich with innuendo, anagrams, etymological and sonic affinities between words, BETWEEN PAGE AND SCREEN revels in language and the act of reading.
