The completed Tic-Tac-Toe grid on this book cover communicates a poem when the X's and O's are read as one-letter words. Using our " X-O-Skeleton Story Generator," we can read the grid as: "Choosing gladness, reassurance; capturing pains incorrect; eye magnifying the sun."

unknowable surprises,
the sun mysterious, shadowing.

ya me na (don't quit)
me na na (because of it)
