collage and altered poem in handmade book
3 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches

That underlying, hidden half
Like some grieving mocking-bird,
Alone in darkness
Now come home.

I made a new book a couple of nights ago and started working in it today. This time around I’m taking the text from a collection of Ella Wheeler Wilcox‘s godawful twee poems.

The birds that were banished,
Follow and vanish
In a seething vapor sea.

I need to take five minutes and scan these, but cell phone photos will have to do for now.
