J.I. Kleinberg
Ten Visual Poems / Found Word Collages

Note from the artist/poet: These visual poems are from an ongoing series of collages built from phrases created unintentionally through the accident of magazine page design. Each chunk of text (roughly the equivalent of a poetic line) is entirely removed from its original sense and syntax. The text is not altered and includes no attributable phrases. The lines of each collage are sourced from different magazines.

J.I. Kleinberg is an artist, poet, and freelance writer whose found poems have appeared in Diagram, Heavy Feather Review, Rise Up Review, The Tishman Review, Hedgerow, Otoliths, and elsewhere. She lives in Bellingham, Washington, and blogs most days at The Poetry Department.
