Book Title Poetry

Have you heard of book title poetry? The goal is to create poetry using only titles of books. Typically, you arrange the book spines and take a photo. While browsing in a book store the other day, here is what I came up with using only titles, no added words.

I can't complain
On looking
Far from the tree.
The ordinary acrobat
In the body of the world
Inventing the enemy.
A man of misconceptions
Unbroken
Governing the world.

Can you guess which section I was browsing at the time? Look at the books around you. Do you see poems?

Nice one!

I'm such a sucker for this kind of minimalist / clever hack.

Thanks for sharing.
