It asks how we use words, how we shape them and are in turn shaped by them. In many ways, then, this book is about how we construct our world through language, and how language unexpectedly shifts the terms on us. It is wry, funny, moving and at times disturbing. It will quietly assert itself, as so often language itself does, and will challenge readers to reconsider how they engage with words and world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Fly you, wildbird\u003cbr\u003e\nhalf eaten by the smog.\u003cbr\u003eAll sheets to the wind.
