"Community Chest" cards are finished, but the "book" is still in progress -- here are some first (not quite right) attempts building at card case boxes for Community Chest.

Materials: cardstock, stamp, scoring board, scissors, double-sided tape.

 

From my own recent folded-poem project: 

 

"For the desperate song, the need in the night"

 

one star = one line of the poem

From Erica Baum's Dog Ear (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2011).

"I’m reauthoring the text in this simple act of folding the paper which creates a new view. I want the compositions to work both formally and linguistically on several levels simultaneously. It looks simple but it’s actually very hard to find ones where everything comes together. I think in order for concrete poetry to succeed it has to operate in both these ways. I’m also adding a third thing to this mix because these have to be found in a book. In this case the constraint is the page sequence....I’m looking for something that in some sense already exists and has the potential to yield something else," Baum says about her project, here.

Some discussion here and here, more images here and here, and many more links on the UDP page, here.

From Jerome Fortin's Solitudes (2011?), "a project where hundreds of books are collected, transformed and arranged into tableaus." More on his website, here.
