Poetry Friday: Enigma by Erica Westcott
Current Mood: thirsty
Current Song: There's No Holding You Down by Erin McCarley
If you cannot read the text above, here it is, plain:
The best way to achieve the impossible is to endure it as you would an epidemic of beauty.
- Enigma by Erica Westcott
I found this piece in Austin Kleon's book Newspaper Blackout, which is a collection of poetry Kleon made by taking a permanent marker to newspaper articles and turning them into something new. At the end of the book, Kleon included the winners of a newspaper blackout contest he held online in 2008. One of the winners was Erica Westcott, as seen above.
Check out Underdog by Austin Kleon, also published in Newspaper Blackout.
