Given a page, a poem is found by letting words jump out to meet the eyes.

Then moving up and down the page, adding words or omitting them to let a new text take shape.

A different text that echoes with the original. Forged from metaphors. Allowing the richness of multiple and implied meanings.

Isolating the words out of the page and attending to the shape of the found poem.

Adding form and colour to re-connect the words into the new whole.

Sustained and repeated attention to each word and its position in the text – we keep the rule of reading left to right from the top, while breaking others, upending grammar, and shifting focus.

Re-composing fragments of a careful text, inspired by the work and composed for clarity.

Choosing the force of the new.
