This week’s Feature
As I explore my obsession and fondness for book page a rt, I stumbled upon book page poetry. Many examples can be found on Pinterest and the Internet. While I wouldn’t think of myself as a poet, the entire concept seriously intrigued me. The opportunity to play with words, use doodling, and create art all in one art form is serendipitous. It is an art form that can be done anywhere, trains, planes and automobiles but most importantly in front of the TV with minimal supplies.
The pictured poem I created started in pencil as I “wrote my poem.” Then and only then I started the artistic embellishment and used INK, specifically a Pigma Micron Pen 01 in blue. The various forms of this poetry vary from refined to quite raw. There are poets that black out all words on the page except the words of the poem and there are thos e that create an artful path from word to word. The artful ones do call out to me but I recognize the place for the “raw” style. I will be creating more poems and posting them on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram regularly.
Have you ever seen this type of poetry and art before? Are you an avid art poet? Share your thoughts and experience below.
