    I like how you’re mixing it up on how you blackout the poems. There’s a painterly quality to the blacks on this one.

    Thanks, Grant!

    Wow. Trippy. I am working my way through your archives. This is great stuff. I saw something on a similar theme using books at the Galway (Ireland) Arts Festival several years ago. Any chance that was you?

    Nope! Never been to Ireland…though I would like to…

    Probably was Tom Phillips.
