"Poetry comes at things through particulars, by means of images, and it doesn't deal so easily with generalities. Its mode is to cherish without limit. You could say it is idolatrous art. Some poems, the great poems, are true to their specific situations deep down, but they also have a universal quality that lets them live again and again, even in apparently unrelated circumstances." -Galway Kinnell

great idea! i'd like to try that, and sooner than later. there's a lot of material that i've been saving. i've been thinking of doing something like rengas or tankas composed only of texts pulled from junk mail or spam.

this is found text, which makes me think: what if our next renga is all composed of found language?
