Illustrated by
Antoine Guilloppé.
Thirty poets, including Marilyn Singer, Kristine O'Connell George, J. Patrick Lewis, and Joyce Sidman, offer poems taken from text messages, basketball nicknames, bird calls, book titles, and other sources. The collection broadly illustrates what a found poem can be; an introduction explains the form. The blocky drawings work well when they're simple; some figure drawings are awkward.
