Since childhood, I have had a penchant for the hunt. Weather scanning for the perfect skipping stone, a missing collection item, or intriguing natural abstractions to photograph, I love the act of searching. Combine this with my love of reading and libraries and some interesting paths emerge.
The latest combination of these interests is to go through books in libraries for text that has been underlined by previous readers. By collecting these notations in their entirety without addition, subtraction, re-arrangement, or editing, I have extracted these fossilized poems.
The works are presented as simply as possible with book title, author, library where the book is found, and call number.
