Found Patrick: an anthology

By Regina O. Sokas

This book is not a monologue. Get ready to mess with these pages, please. Perhaps you would like to doodle in the margins. Maybe you have a highlighter handy and feel drawn to pulling a found poem.Found Patrick started in that very private, primitive space created by grief. Sitting cross-legged on the floor of his condo, sorting through papers my brother left behind when he unexpectedly died, I read his old newspaper articles and heard his voice.How to respond? Why, with found poetry - poetry that takes an existing text and extracts/manipulates/creates something new. Here you have it: found poems that extract or manipulate or create a whole new voice, a conversation taking place around the globe and across the barriers of time, space and mortality. A conversation among people who have never met, but who now share a bond.All of it is punctuated by artwork that elevates the conversation in a way only art can.Voices from around the world come together in celebration of life, death, love and creativity. Join us. Be a part of the conversation.Note: Not for children -- artwork contains some nudity.
