Spine Poetry – 6
The concept of book spine poetry appeared in 1993 with Nina Katchadourian’s Sorted Books project. Katchadourian began collecting interesting titles and arranging them in clusters so the spines could be read like a sentence(s) or poem.
- The 3 Mistakes of My Life
- That Thing Called Love
- Losing My Virginity…
- The Husband
PS : This is NOT a personal story!

LOL. Initially, I read the third line as Dean Koontz (from the photo) and was wondering, but I god the poem once I read your words below. Prophetic lines, BTW 😛

Ha Ha Ha. The husband is definitely worth a mistake. Ingenious Shilpa. I wonder how you must be rummaging your book shelf for getting that perfect poem! Tell me how much time you spend?
Joy always,
Susan

Thanks Susan! Glad this brought a laugh! Well, all my books are in one cupboard, so I sit in front of it for a while and keep looking at the titles and then something works out or sometimes, I keep thinking about it while I am working, cooking etc… 😀
