Words Running Down My Spine

Ever heard of book spine poems? I learned about them on Mary Lee's site or maybe 100 Scope Notes. Inventive artist Nina Katchadourian came up with these:

Akron Stacks

Shark Journal

I made one. Wow, it's tough! This photo is not that readable, but I've included the words below the photo:

The Brain That Changes Itself

The Celtic Twilight
Gathering Blue.
From Head To Toe -
Lament.

Journey
to
the
Bottomless
Pit.
Shadows
of Forgotten Ancestors,
Inside the Vicious Heart.

A River Runs Through It -
Girl, Overboard!

The Forgotten Door!
Stealing Freedom,
In The Service of Life.

How To Grow Fresh Air?
Under Open Sky -
Wings.

    Enjoyed these, Tabatha. Think I'll check my bookcases and try to do a spine poem of my own :).
