Sounds Complicated: Blackout Poetry and Art
"Out with the old, in with the new."
One day while decluttering my office, I began feeding old proof pages into the shredder with glee. But watching the metal teeth chew up my hard work had me wondering, was reducing my books into tatters a good idea? Or could I turn the pages into something new?
Motivated by an online found poetry community, I recycled my proof copies of Dealing with Blue and Burnout into blackout poems and doodle art. Selected words took on a new meaning and the whimsical line drawings created their own stories, which may require a stretch of the imagination.
Let it stretch!
Sounds Complicated is a colorful compilation about a perplexing journey through love.

Art was very beautiful. Poems were pretty good. I liked volume 2 better.
