In print; available from Amazon.

In print; available from Amazon. a thoughtful discourse on the creative,

In print; buy it at Amazon.  If you like language, it's pretty interesting to read a chunk of this to feel English without the "E"  He uses surprisingly few awkward constructions (you know that the -ed verbs had to be really tough to work around).  But the lack of "E's" surprisingly changes the sound of the language--both, by the lack of the "E" itself, and by the "A's" and "I's" and "O's" becoming more dominant visually, and in the sound of the language.
