The concept of
book spine poetry appeared in 1993 with Nina Katchadourian’s Sorted
Books project. Katchadourian began collecting interesting titles and
arranging them in clusters so the spines could be read like a sentence.
Thanks to Uma
Chellappa for introducing this wonderful piece of creative writing on her blog. Check it out here.
Finally, after a
deliberate attempt, I am ready with my maiden attempt at Book Spine poetry. My mother-in-law, who is currently visiting
me, also helped me with it.
Let me know how
you like it.
