This week's creative writing club activity was taken from an exercise developed by Christian Bök called Impromptu #16, which was hosted by The Found Poetry Review during a National Poetry Month activity last year, and which instructed us about how to create a field of stars based on a found text.
While Bök's exercise suggested using source material from an antiquarian astronomy text, in the interest of time (club members only meet for one hour each week), we used material from Astronomy Books Online. Follow the link above if you want to read more about how the star fields were made or just look at the amazing creations that follow! Don't you wish you were part of it?
This was my first real "poetic task" in the club. It made me think differently and see things from a new perspective. I really enjoyed the challenge and am looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir. It was so much fun. I'm looking forward to what we'll do these next weeks in this awesome Creative Writing Club.
