Found Poetry: Or, a Moral Inventory



the fall issue of the Found Poetry Review is online. their tagline: "celebrating the poetry in the existing and everyday." which connects to the whole theme of revisiting, reshaping, recreating. so i opened some existing poetry: "Foal" by Rose Hunter. and started to leaf through it, not reading the full poems or stanzas, but only single lines from each page.

and arrived at: Or, a Moral Inventory

piecing the found poem together also made me look up garrafones: they are huge water bottles, their name derived from a measure: a garrafon equals 5 gallons. the other spanish word in the poem, Los Muertos, i knew from the festive day: "Dia de los Muertos" - the day of the dead.

the audio? still shy about recording my own voice, but interesting to hear the same lines in the different voices.

and the place in the picture - that's Lanzarote island. the photo actually is taken at the southern bay, yet looking inwards. another photo from the same place, same day, is online here: rainbow day (2nd photo). which now leads to another returning / found question: how many different images can be found in one place?

And thanks to you for your voice. The vispo, it was directly inspired from the one earlier this week, this one:
