Hummingbird is reminiscent of old-fashioned cursive penmanship, the sort learned by endless repetition and found in treasured letters bundled together by silk ribbons or in worn leather-bound ledgers. Contextual alternates allow for natural connections from one letter to the next, as well as random letter substitutions. The result is lovely, sensual, airy, personal and, in its sensitively wrought irregularities, as innately and intimately human as the writer's hand and pen.
