"A Little Called Pauline" is an excerpt from Gertrude Stein’s 1914 poetry book, Tender Buttons.
While Stein's language is anything but straightforward, many phrases in A Little Called Pauline seem to connect to newspapers - they might touch on printing, typography, and hyperbolic headlines. Is this Stein's critique of the 1914 media?
Critically examining the words we consume is still vital, so I hope this project invites viewers to feel curious about language and inspired to dig a little deeper.
