The Idiot's Dictionary

The Idiot’s Dictionary is a book that asks the reader to “enter” the language. Through example and creativity, the reader is asked to question language and “the word”, especially the official word of the dictionary. Through dictionary definitions readers see the poetic possibility of language and how it truly is, “a meaning maker”. Some examples: Fit: not fAt Forest: a good place for rest a Shoe In: a likely candidate. A good fit.
