NOTES

This series of constrained concrete poems was set in motion by a stack of salvaged provincial election stickers, each 3 x 7 inch sticker consisting only of the capital letters B V A printed green on light cream paper.

I have hand torn one sticker and reassembled the parts to compose one poem.

27 unique poems complete the series, this chapbook comprises a selection of these.

Very special thanks to PVR for saving what others would readily throw away.
