Strong’s whimsical miniature book, which she designed as an “homage to Alice,” takes Alice’s journey as the jumping off point for a celebration of nonsense in its most joyous form. She invites a reader to marvel in the delicacy and sheer shrunkeness of the volume, while—aided by the full-size text that she provides with the entry—having their own poetic adventures in the delightfully absurd verses she has crafted. The book itself is no bigger than a large postage stamp and is artfully bound and boxed with the Alice-appropriate label READ ME . Strong’s rhyming introduction is included here and constitutes a light-hearted eleventh poem to round out the collection.
