Description: "Vivienne Plumb creates through the written word, Glenn 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"--Back cover.
Notes: Poems, short stories, a play and illustrations.
