a wonderful little idea…
January 16, 2013
It appears that Poetry Found might be on hiatus, perhaps due to lack of funding. But it is/was a wonderful idea, worth sharing here. ‘The Liverpool Poet’ (Justine Tennant) and other contributing poets turn their words into tiny printed books, half the size of a business card. The books are distributed free, scattered far and wide by the poets and their friends and, apparently, anyone who cares to participate, “inside books or other poetry mags in libraries, bookshops and newsagents etc, tucked inside menu holders in restaurants, left on top of hand dryers in bathrooms, left behind curtains and in drawers in hotel rooms, hung over the edges of leaflet holders in theatres, museums, galleries, tourist info offices, hospitals, wherever!”
More here and, of course, on Facebook.

I love them! Sometimes we have little promo cards like that for books in work and I like to use them to decorate my desk. They’d be so much better with poetry on them though.
