NEWSPAPER BLACKOUT POEMS

171 BLACKOUT POEMS

171 Blackout poems

This is just the “yes” folder. It needs to be whittled down to 150 or less and sequenced.

52 in the “no/maybe/blog” folder.

224 total.

It’s still 26 shy of my goal of 250, but there’s only a month until the manuscript is due, so I might have to just end up short. So it goes.

Clean Up

Wish me luck.

    I love using bridge for images but lately it kills my computer . i miss it terribly. I am using light room as a substitute.
    keep up the great work.

    Bridge has crashed on me, too, recently, but it hasn’t crashed my computer. It’s stable enough to keep using it…
