Can I just say I am absolutely astonished and amazed by your visual poetry! Firstly I was wondering, how did you get the grey stripes in the black with this one? Did you do that digitally or was that a pen/whiteout/whatever thing? I'd really like to know, it looks so interesting!

Secondly, I hope you don't mind if I use some of your work as inspiration for an Art assignment... I wouldn't be copying your work or plagiarising or anything, just taking inspiration from your idea of the fantastic way you find words and meaning from something like this.

Again, absolutely amazing work - keep it up!

this one is brilliant too

the only part which was a tad confusing was which way to read 'silhoutte of broken light' - but i got it in the end

The ending is a bit hard to follow, but otherwise, it's great. Love how it looks like a wood grain.

That's lovely.
I will admit that I freaked a little when I saw it was on a book, but I got over myself when I read the selected passages. You've done a wonderful job finding coherent sentences within the text

This is the best thing I have ever seen come out of a how-to-sketch book. I love how striking it is while still being so simple, it's really an orriginal idea. ^_^

Scattered, hmm, information overload I think. But if you follow the individually selected words, it's more fluid. Makes sense. Hmm. I like it.

Why would anyone need to know "How to Look at Trees?"

Beautiful.

A bit hard to follow until I realized you weren't supposed to read the random words in the stripes. Then I had a lot easier time interpreting it

Very poetic... obviously.... Hard to believe it was just 'found' poetry ^.^
