"Oh, what a sculptural web Lee Renninger weaves:
Bouquets of pretty porcelain blooms shimmer and dance in the light,
creating a spider's doily that entices and enchants. Hanging and hanger
couture!

Poems written from the arrangement of book titles ... "Poetry Backbone"

"Putting books one above the other so that the titles will concatenino to form verses. This is done 'poetry backbone.' It is called so because it comes from the backs of books, not by titles. The difference is only visual, because he invented a graphic designer and photographer, Silvano Belloni. What has not had the inspiration pensandoci up, but setting a shelf crowded with books. The journalist Antonella Ottolina was in love the idea and gave life composing the poems backbones. For example: when you're part of me, myself and only you, can I no longer walk. Tell someone you are here. I want to scream the voiceless first steps that poetry is a poem composed by dorsal 8 books that have no relevance gender, only for cases, all signed by Italian authors. These are the headlines: when camilla carrara (new authors 2006) part of me six of raffaella bedini (anagram 2007) and I you only stefano of aroldi (new authors 2007) not rie"

Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love. -T.S.Eliot
"Volume is an ongoing project documenting bound periodicals and professional journals in public libraries. Most of these publications are being replaced by their online counterparts, and in many cases the printed versions are no longer bound. Several titles photographed in the process of this project have been removed from the stacks due to space and budget constraints. Searching endless rows of these utilitarian texts, I am struck by the physical mass of knowledge and tenuousness of printed works as they fade from public consciousness.
The act of hunting for and photographing these objects is fundamental to my process. I do not touch, light, or manipulate the books and words – preferring to document them as found in the stacks, created by the librarian, and positioned by the last unknown reader.
The irony and graphic quality of repeating titles fascinate and draw, no matter how mundane, from known to obscure, from Vogue to Blood. I focus on simple, provocative titles that transcend the spines on which they appear.
Note: Collocation is defined as "the act or result of placing or arranging together, specifically: a noticeable arrangement or conjoining of linguistic elements (as words)." -Mickey Smith

"Each of these stunning prints have been hand letterpressed by Doug, directly onto old maps of the UK! The diversity of these maps and the printing method combined means that each print is truly unique."
"And all the names of the tribes, the nomads of faith who walked in the monotone of the desert and saw brightness and faith and colour. The way a stone or found metal box or bone can become loved and turn eternal in a prayer. Such glory of this country she enters now and becomes part of. We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish for all this to be marked on my body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography-to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience. All I desired was to walk upon such an earth that had no maps." -Michael Ondaatje
