"I want every children's book editor and also every primary and middle school teacher  and librarian in America to read this book. It is the antidote to plotting, plot-driven,  two-line synopsizable, anti-imagination books....[Ounce Dice Trice]&#160;can be read cover  to cover, back to front, middle to end, upside down, any way you like.&#160;" &#160;--Daniel  Pinkwater, Weekend Edition Saturday, NPR, 12/12/09&#160;&ldquo;Ben Shahn&rsquo;s drawings turn Ounce,  Dice, Trice, a word-nonsense book by Alastair Reid, into an art book.&rdquo;&ndash;Los Angeles  Times&#160;&ldquo;The book, with more than 100 pictures by Ben Shahn, was designed to amuse  and the words belong on the borderline where &lsquo;the poet and the child meet.&rsquo;&rdquo; &ndash;The  New York Times&ldquo;Quite marvelous. Illustrated masterfully by artist Ben Shahn. A highly-unusual treat for ages 6 to 100.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Orange Marmalade Books&#160;&#160;"For decades, New Yorker writer Alastair Reid has been collecting  words, weird ones. In Ounce, Dice, Trice, the words play tricks on each other and  on the reader. Gongoozler. Piddocks. Mumruffin. Reid twists them into rhymes and  draws odd connections between them in this book part dictionary, part gonomony receptacle...With  black-and-white sketches by painter Ben Shahn, Ounce, Dice, Trice amounts to great  fun for the average gongozzler (idle person) of any age." &ndash;The Bergen County Record&#160;"There are 57 pages of this delightful nonsense, with equally delightful illustrations.  My wife and I love it." &ndash;David Halperin&#160;&ldquo;Alastair Reid is a word magician.&rdquo; &ndash;Bill  Buford&#160;&ldquo;Ben Shahn is among the most important American artists of this century.&rdquo;  &ndash;Library Journal&#160;&ldquo;Ounce, Dice, Trice, an Alastair Reid book of poems for juveniles,  introduces children to the fun of words. Introducing children to words in any form  is, to my mind, one of the noblest of endeavors. Alastair himself has had great fun  with words, both poetically and prosaically.&rdquo; &ndash;Los Angeles Times&#160;&ldquo;If you like nonsense  words with meanings they ought to have then you&rsquo;ll like this book. If you get tired  of counting to 10 in an ordinary way, try it ounce, dice, trice, quartz, quince,  sago, serpent, oxygen, nitrogen, and denim. The pictures are fine too. An enjoyable  book.&rdquo; &ndash;Los Angeles Times

&ldquo;For range of effect, philosophical weight, originality of style, variety of characterization, humor, and tragic intensity, [Faulkner&rsquo;s works] are without equal in our time and country.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert Penn Warren&#160;&ldquo;He is the greatest artist the South has produced. . . . Indeed, through his many novels and short stories, Faulkner fights out the moral problem which was repressed after the nineteenth century [yet] for all his concern with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man. Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for greatness of our classics.&rdquo; &mdash;Ralph Ellison

In this stimulating volume, Frank Camilleri draws on his experience as a theatre practitioner-scholar to carefully tease out those aspects of performer training that are often left in the background during discussions of psychophysical performance practices. This marginalisation is performed even by those whose practices might already be post-psychophysical in Camilleri’s terms. Drawing on a combination of theoretical approaches including agential realism, assemblage theory and postphenomenology, Camilleri practises a critical posthumanist reconfiguration of performer training that respectfully builds on and supplements the insights of the dominant psychophysical performance paradigm.
