Kristin Calling to bodies, yes, this book held on through a long move and a slow death, and so for their patience I thank Kristin and all this book’s writers, whose generosity and gifts of time helped me through boxes, tape, and hos- pital rooms. And here’s to you, readers, thanks for your hands, eyes, and curiosity: here’s to what you make and give. Anne composing(media) = composing(embodiment)
