Ounce dice trice - Alastair Reid & Ben Shahn
What can words transform into, and what can they not? Poet Alastair Reid invites both children and adults into the mysterious and boundless world of words in his poetry collection Ounce Dice Trice. This unique work explores sound, meaning, and nonsense from unexpected perspectives.
Reid introduces a variety of words: those with light, playful tones, those that feel weighty, words that evoke motion, strange or peculiar words, as well as palindromic words and those with surprising pronunciations. Beyond this, the book offers countless delightful surprises, packed with the sheer joy of language.
Accompanied by Ben Shahn's beautiful illustrations, Ounce Dice Trice is a book that brings fresh joy with every reading.
