Dime-Store Alchemy
Dime-Store Alchemy: The Art of Joseph Cornell | Charles Simic
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
Now in Paperback In Dime-Store Alchemy, poet Charles Simic reflects on the life and work of Joseph Cornell, the maverick surrealist who is one of America's great artists. Simic's spare prose is as enchanting and luminous as the mysterious boxes of found objects for which Cornell is justly renowned.

#idiominsight of course #ADimeADozen means more like , I had so many ripe zucchini at harvest time , I couldn‘t even get a dime a dozen for them.😄But I thought of old Dime stores like Woolworth‘s or Sprouse-Reitz where a kid with some change could find a toy or cheap candy. I swooned over the paperback book racks and the comic rack!
