Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted to kick off the rededication of my mornings to poetry with something unassuming & undemanding; I thought white-out poetry/found poetry would do the job nicely. It did…too well, in fact. 😅 I was more ready for more words more quickly than I imagined. While a few of these caught me (p.8, 18, 22, 33), most felt like more like thin gibberish & happenstance rather than careful craft. Still, I imagine creating them was a simple pleasure.

I was a little skeptical of this one when I first read the description, but I‘m so glad I tried it! The author was very selective in which words she left visible in the tiny 19th century book. What‘s left is a spare and haunting poem. What you see here is one page of it. I loved this book so much I ordered one to keep!
