INSTRUCTIONS: Rearrage books on either your or someone else's bookshelf to tell a story, write haiku, or make a statement. The inspiration for this task is the most whimsical of artists, Nina Katchadourian. More examples there.

Dear SF0,

Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years. No, really. Actually years.

I've worked on this task many a time, tonight, the caffeine in my veins and connecting with many of my Californian friends has finally made me tear up my shelves again, and take on the project. Now my books are in piles all over my desk and floor, their unselected fellows now leaning at the emptiness on shelves. The one thing I've realized, doing this task, the amount that I've thrown myself into poetry in the past two years means I'm having troubles writing complete sentences.

I'm tempted to go overboard, to pull all of my books off the shelves- it's funny how the books that come together span such different topics in reality.

Do the resulting sentences make sense? Your votes decide.

Love,
Inky

- smaller

Desperation

Desperation

The omnivore's dilemma: thirst under the jaguar sun, body toxic, blue wizard is about to die.


A simple question, a simple answer.

A simple question, a simple answer.

Red.


Inky's struggle.

Inky's struggle.

A book of one's own lost in the funhouse, searching for intruders, sleeping with the dictionary, slouching toward Nirvana.


A sexual discovery

A sexual discovery

Wounds of passion uncovered the last time I wore a dress. The wrong men loving, inscribing the daily hopscotch.


A cannibal's tale

A cannibal's tale

Gray's anatomy, exquisite corpse, girl with curious hair. Eating in the dark, the omnivore's dilemma: a farewell to arms.


The madness what is now my desk.

The madness what is now my desk.

Madness.

Mine too.

Particularly the pun about "A Farewell to Arms."

Dear Teucer,

I saw that book on my shelf and started giggling, knowing what had to be done- almost put "a moveable feast" in there, too.

A Moveable Feast would've been an awesome addition.

Also possibly a cookbook.

I'd also pulled "A mummy at the diningroom table" and "feast of the goat", but decided to keep it simple.
