Newspaper + Marker = Poetry. Buy the book.
The picture, the word
This year
After I made this one I was reminded of Joe Brainard’s New Year poem “1970,” quoted in Ron Padgett’s biography:
1970
is a good year
if for no other reason
than just because
I’m tired of complaining
Keep charts and complain
I made this blackout back in 2010, but it came to mind last night when I was finishing up Malcolm Harris’s book about millennials, Kids These Days, and I read this sentence: “The First Amendment gives us the right to get together and complain until things change or we get too tired to keep going.”
What’s being woven
Some party
The future calls
“I can’t be a pessimist,” James Baldwin said, “because I am alive.”
The value of nonsense
From scratch
Low-hanging fruit
Whenever I’m told to go after “low-hanging fruit,” I think of drawing a cartoon with two characters standing over a tombstone.
“He picked the low-hanging fruit,” one says.
“Yeah,” says the other. “But he never climbed the tree.”
