A while back, we talked about bookmashes-the found poetry formed by book spines stacked on top of each other. On our Facebook page, Irvin Kanines shared her bookmash: Shortcuts to Bliss/ Running with Scissors/ Naked/ Why Didn’t I Think of That? This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Listener Bookmash”
We were talking a while back about book spine poetry or book mashes, you know, where you pile up books and then you see the poetry created by those titles.
On our Facebook page, a listener from San Francisco who goes by the name Urban Canines posted a photo of the one that he or she created, and I really liked it.
The titles are Shortcuts to Bliss, Running with Scissors, Naked, Why Didn’t I Think of That?
That’s great.
That’s good.
So that’s incidental poetry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Found poetry.
Air poetry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Running with Scissors, Austin Burroughs, and Naked by, is that David Sedaris?
I think so.
I forget.
