description: How do objects summon memories? What do real images feel like? For decades these types of questions have permeated the pages of Lynda Barrys compositions with words attracting pictures and conjuring places through a pen that first and foremost keeps on moving. What It Is demonstrates a tried-and-true creative method that is playful powerful and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or to remember. Composed of completely new material each page of Barrys first Drawn &amp; Quarterly book is a full-color collage that is not only a gentle guide to this process but an invigorating example of exactly what it is: The ordinary is extraordinary.
