Ulrich’s gifts as a writer become evident as she delves into the shapes, textures and stories of her 11 objects. Her clean, crisp prose and scholarly bent do not obscure, but rather enhance her delight in her subjects. We delight as well. Part history lesson, part jigsaw puzzle, The Age of Homespun spins yarns about colonial life and the people who lived it from the most ordinary of jumping-off points. For example, the Indian basket demonstrates new contact between English settlers and Algonkians in what is now Providence, R.I. and the subsequent blending of the cultures?...
...underground newspaper, our flavor was decidedly more relaxed than the daily Crimson. But our stories were some of the best writing published on campus.

...constructible miniature nickelodeon. It would probably work too. Elsewhere he fills an entire giant-sized page with a joke treatise, printed in a phone-book-sized font, on the different types of collectors. As always, even the indicia gets the Ware treatment, in that typically fussy prose of his: "Also, please note, should you be a German 'Hip Hop' band, or a Belgian night club, or a student filmmaker with a project due soon and no ideas - the contents of this volume fall under the general copyright?"
