FOUND FRIDAY

THIS WEEK IN FOUND FRIDAY, a lovely friend Carly Correa experiments with spanish found poetry...Harry Potter to be exact. Check out Carly's blog for more fun & gamez.

"Here's a found poem from a Harry Potter book in Spanish that I made a couple of week ago that broke my hard drive. Yes, it broke my hard drive. My computer got a virus while on a janky Spanish translation website. I lost photos since April, so if you know of any hackers that are of high moral standard, send me their way.

Found poems are created by taking elements from an existing page of a book and then blacking out the rest. If you read my the poem, it almost creepily alludes to the fate of my computer. "- Carly

A DISCOVERY

As for mine, I thought a new medium would be in order so this story of a shy & strong girl comes from Los Angeles Magazine.

FACE TO FACE

THE PRICE OF A MAN

Found Friday

There's great risk in trying to start a weekly blog feature like "Found Friday" but my great love for FOUND POETRY might be enough to do something consistent for a change.

I started doing found poetry, bored one day in a coffee shop surrounded by a multitude of outdated newspapers. The results were actually surprising. Just because you are musing off the words of another doesn't necessarily mean they can't be transformed into your own.

I have recently been using a Henry David Thoreau book which seems to have some very interesting words on its pages. Also, romance novels do just fine. There's way more in store such as newspapers, street signs, billboards, photos (just wait), other people's stolen journals (maybe...you never know), and more.

Today's poem was subconsciously inspired by an interesting conversation with a friend's mom over the honor a soldier feels when fighting a war.

So for first found friday, may I present to you:
