Ghosted
|
We’re excited to bring you an all-nonfiction issue of Cutleaf this week.
In this issue, Gary Fincke explores where emotion lives in the essay “In the Heart.”
Kristin Lindsey is visited by the spirits of the past and present in “Ghosted.”
And Annette Pearson travels towards the past in search of what is remembered and forgotten in “Road Trip South.”
This issue features images by Ruth McEnery Stuart and Albert Bigelow Paine from Gobolinks, or Shadow Pictures for Young and Old (New York: The Century Co., 1896). The images capture the youthful, imaginative quality of the inkblot and feature characters such as “A Flit-Flit Flitter,” “The Kangar-Rooster-Roo,” and other “goblin[s] of the ink-bottle.”

Ruth McEnery Stuart and Albert Bigelow Paine capture the youthful, imaginative quality of the inkblot and features characters such as “A Flit-Flit Flitter,” “The Kangar-Rooster-Roo,” and other “goblin[s] of the ink-bottle.” Commenting humorously on the tendency of their animal blots to feature a plethora of tails, the authors note that they “have added nothing to the price of the book on account of undue liberality in the matter of caudal appendages.” From Public Domain Review.
