Last month, Edie Tsong spoke at the monthly Santa Fe Book Arts Group meeting. She’s very interested in poetry, and she had a contest asking people to submit a love-letter written using text abbreviations. She then letterpress printed the result as a broadside. For those of us who don’t read the abbreviations well, here’s what it says:
Early this morning
before the sun
I rolled out of our bed to soak
olive slowly shifting to black
raven and owl chasing
each other in the meadow
white bird of night
black bird of day
endless conversation
swooping play
and dance
love M.
