Spine Poetry
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.DSC_0269

    1. This is a gaining acceptance and in fact in Bangalore, they had a Book Spine Poetry Contest too recently.
      Ah! This is the only ‘poetry’ I know I can ever do…. the Laxmi, Preetilata and Sri Devi kind of poetry is just not my cup of tea! 😀

  1. Your poem is an actual poem 🙂 I have also written a book-spine-poem. Last year I had participated in the National Poetry writing month challenge and a new friend, Chris had introduced me to this art form. I love it and am so glad to see your poem.

  2. Hat trick Shilpa ! Third innovative post in a row. ‘Hat ke ‘ as they say 🙂
    Will try as soon as possible. Thank you for the idea of spine poetry.Loved it !

  3. Awesome Shilpa.. I came to know about the spine poetry through your blog posts and loved the idea. I have read most of the spine poetry you have posted and loved them.

  4. You always come up with something special and this one deserves a standing applause 🙂
    I too wrote a poem from the title of several blogs though I never knew if I could call it Spine poetry!!
