I actually really like this. the way the writing and drawings behind the pages leaves imprints, I found myself trying to figure out if any of it meant anything. I couldn't make anything out but it was an. engaging exercise nonetheless
almost took a page of of John Cage's book for the lols but felt like this had a bit more substance. "There Will be Rest" reads as very quiet, but is such a meaningful poem to me. When I took that walk in January the lines "and above me/stars I shall find" just kept repeating over and over in my mind. It was so serene and quiet and I could see so many stars, I just had to write about that moment.
had a really fun time reading this in my head ^u^ i love how the pauses sort of bubble up very entropically but i think it works incredibly well!!!
@angelogistics @vagueshape thank you both!!! it's our first trying blackout poetry, actually... and about something extremely relevant to our lives. it was kind of a miracle that the text we picked up worked so well!!!
