Item description from seller

Plumb creates through the written word, Otto through line; this book combines their two narratives. The image/text conflation moves between form over meaning, and meaning over form. Otto's exuberant gestures interact with Plumb's luminous humour, as if two performers are present on the page together. As Much Gold as an Ass Could Carry showcases Plumb's poetry, fiction and drama, from a twenty-year literary career. Within these large, funny, barbed, affecting themes, the power of the social construct of what it means to be female is laid bare. Otto's graphic wit ornaments and underwrites Plumb's written traceries. This collaboration between artist and writer was initiated by split/fountain, as part of their ongoing engagement with publishing as a performative act. Very minor wear to top of cover. 232 pages.
