Now here’s a fun challenge. I first came across this on Sue Vincent’s page, then Chris the Story Reading Ape’s page, who had reblogged from Lisa Shambrook. Lisa had got the idea from The Conclave of Sappho
Here’s the fun: Go to your bookshelves and find a few books with title’s that make a poem when stacked on top one another.
When you’re done, share it on Lisa’s page, and feel free to come back and leave the link to yours in the comments here too.
Here’s mine:
MenoWhat? A Memoir
Writing About Your Life,
Fear of Fifty,
I Feel Bad About My Neck,
I Remember Nothing.
Authors of above listed books: D.G. Kaye, William Zinsser, Erica Jong, Norah Ephron, Norah Ephron (I Was thrilled to put myself in such esteemed company 🙂 )
All The Light We Cannot See
Glimpsing Heaven,
The Journey.
Authors of the above books: Anthony Doerr, Judy Bachrach, Brandon Bays
