In her introduction to this volume of found poems, editor Georgia Heard writes, “Poetry is everywhere—if we only look at the world with our poet’s eyes.” Her challenge to poets: create poems from existing text found in any source other than poetry. The result: poems from moments and sources that permeate everyday life. Poems were found in posts on Facebook or Twitter and the promises on a box of detergent; coaxed from the signs in a hardware store; and composed from the titles of paintings by Van Gogh. The poet’s job was to discover, and to shape and to frame the found words, often with a title that gives weight and meaning and context, as in “Pep Talk,” a poem found by Janet Wong on a box of OxiClean detergent: “Keep cool. / See a brighter solution. / Maintain freshness. / Boost your power!” These found poems invite young readers to consider the words they see and hear with a mind open to poetic possibilities.
