Description:
Howe tells the story of a woman traveling among geographies both real and imagined looking for her daughter. Even within the twenty-first century landscape where hybrid works are common, perhaps all too common, Fanny How's 1979 Holy Smoke offers a still startlingly inventive mixture of prose, poetry, images, found objects and ephemera, journaling and more.

" . . . concise and poetic, catching you off guard, riding you up and over events in a quick sweep of word associations . . . a writer of original grace and vision." --The Boston Globe
