Publisher's Synopsis
Found poems are a form of collage, where the poet imparts new meaning to words or phrases from other sources by rearranging and changing lines and spacing, adding or deleting text. The poems in this collection include ekphrastic collages (inspired by other works of art, from Shakespeare to Charlie Mingus), centos from lines and titles of poets from Maxine Kumin to Dylan Thomas, and erasure poems from novels, biographies, and unexpected sources such as an astronomy text and online dictionary.
