Reviews for Dime-Store Alchemy

@lt;i@gt;Dime-Store Alchemy@lt;/i@gt;...is the most sustained literary response this far to Cornell's boxes, montages, and films...incisive, freewheeling, dramatic--a mixture of evocation and observation, as lucid and shadowy as the imagination it celebrates...@lt;i@gt;Dime-Store Alchemy@lt;/i@gt; is a meeting of kindred spirits that is itself a work of art. --Edward Hirsch, @lt;i@gt;The New Yorker@lt;/i@gt;@lt;br@gt; @lt;br@gt; A beautiful book that evokes Cornell's artistic spirit. --@lt;i@gt;Harper's Bazaar@lt;/i@gt;
