* Description: A meditation on the eponymous Tarot card, Two of Pentacles is a book of ever-changing juxtapositions. Each printed copy of the book is uniquely generated and shuffled such that each two-page spread resembles a freshly drawn spread of cards. Its poetic "cards" draw unexpected connections between the legend of Narcissus, Tarot, botnets, the Bible, and language itself.
Two of Pentacles is the first in the Nothing to Say series of “dynamic books” where each copy is uniquely generated and printed.
"Reading Allison Parrish feels like being let in on a fundamental secret of language. Two of Pentacles locates the mystical in the realm of the ordinary: the moment one text passes into and as another. This book demonstrates both that nothing is ever just itself and that the self is a “meaningful surface” on which we experience words, earthly things, and the otherworldly experience known as one another." — charles theonia, author of Gay Heaven Is a Dance Floor but I Can't Relax
