Thanks so much! I used to make cut out poems all the, but I used to try to incorporate them into the collages. Some worked, a lot didn’t. I’m finding this format of separating them but situating them together works in a much more interesting way, interesting to me anyway, lol.
Amazing- I love this so much. Ok, I know I say this often here-meaning on your substack-BUT it is true. Cut out…or composed…always scintillating! Almost forgot,Duane your collage arrived. I am going to frame this and keep it on my writing desk. I’ll send a pic.
Thank you so much! It’s such an interesting and insightful process. It’s a great way to discover stories you didn’t know you wanted to tell, and confessions that you didn’t know you needed to say. And it always uncovers intriguing turns of phrase. Thanks again!
Thank you! I love making these cut out poems, they're always a surprise. The themes, ideas, and narratives are always a kind of discovery, but I’m never sure if anyone actually finds them as interesting as I do, lol. Glad you enjoyed it!
So cleverly presented. I'm always envious of your creativity.
Thanks Gloria! That’s really kind of you! I have a special relationship with my scanner, lol.
Ha!!!!
Really like the imagery in this cut-out poem, Duane.
