Poster poems: Found poetry

…via Billy Mills, an August #Poetry Challenge at the Guardian. Perhaps someone would venture a cut-up or collage from, the ultimate August poem about poets, Alexander Pope's Letter to Dr Arbuthnot. Add images, other media to the words and you have something like Broadsided or mixed media combining graphics and text.

Time for an August @Broadsided Collaboration

…at the Picnic, right here on the blog & Facebook page… is where you will find the electronic #Mountainair vector. All too often, I postpone and forget. Tamra Hays is IRL when in town (and if she still vectorizes). But any number can, so
