Oral Florist Cassette Tape
This limited edition cassette tape contains the first 26 recordings of Oral Florist. From Christine Schutt reading about the clam chowder wars to Patrick Cottrell reading about how to name a star, these 26 recordings are evidence that, in a life carefully noticed, one might be able to find playfulness and humor and love and beauty and sadness in many places that lie outside the confines of what is typically categorized as “literature.”
Designed by Rita Bullwinkel. Tape production by Heather Fisk. Case printing by Middle Press. Edition of 100.
