As I went out into the wild, I tried to think of how I would sift through all of the messages you find or create each day. What is your environment revealing? Are messages always sent intentionally?

Upon further examination of the images I shot, I found poetry that exists in both ordinary and unordinary scenes, words and other images that are created each day. The notion that poetry is not only two-verse, or haiku, or rhymes on a page...but perhaps a silent image of a pregnant dog, or a quote from a woman paired with the emotion of a child. This non-conventional idea of poetry is perhaps "anti-social", by Marshall McLuhans definition.

And HERE is the book I created on found poetry.
