Found Poetry (and Fauxhio)

Found poetry is exactly that - finding poetry in words that were not originally intended to be poems.

There are several definitions, including the most restrictive, which is to find poetry without removing any text. A good example might be William Shatner reading Sarah Palin's tweets.

I prefer finding poems by deleting text. I have a blog devoted to a project where I have people send back poetry found in the pages of Treasures of Morrow, a young adult novel by H. M. Hoover.

Here are some found poems I have been sending out occasionally with my mail art. They all come from a desktop page-a-day calendar.

Have you created any found poems before?

F is also for Fauxhio is the fictional place where the artistamps (also known as faux postage or cinderella stamps) I print are issued.

I use the first two stamps quite a bit, usually on envelopes, occasionally on mail art itself. The second two are ones I ordered that are impossible (small brown) or finicky (purple) to use. 

Occasionally, I'll create a special first day of issue postmark. I adapted an old scifi TV channel logo. And sorry about the cut off scan - back from my days of ineptitude with the scanner.

And here's one where I didn't have such good control of the postmark stamper.

Where would you want to post your own stamps from? A real place? Somewhere fictional?
