The book-lovely and clothbound to resemble the band's posthumous collection Still-also features reproductions of old fan letters and flyers that Curtis' widow had kept." -A.V. His poetic brilliance, ominous and beautiful, remains startling even when stripped of its aural component and regardless of a familiarity with the group's chilling post-punk."-Austin Chronicle"So This Is Permanence collects his handwritten words, setting them next to typeset versions of what they would become.
