New dumpsters, old fires
Last Friday I didn’t have a top image or a subject line for the newsletter, so I said, “You know what? I’ll give myself an hour to play and see what happens.” I pulled a half-finished blackout poem out of the drawer and came up with “New dumpsters, old fires.”

Disintegration
This poem was inspired by listening to The Cure’s Disintegration at top volume in my studio.
I put it at the top of last Friday’s newsletter, “A New Appreciation.”

Here is an old blackout poem I stuck in Tuesday’s letter, “Your next best friend,” which is about making good friends — with people and books.

I really like the way this one turned out. You can read the whole thing here.
