A charming, clever, and original collection of more than 100 spine poems-a popular form of found poetry composed by arranging book spines--illustrated with 110 full-color photographs. Easy to create and share online, spine poems--also known as collage poems or centos--have become a fun and popular way of writing poetry. Spine Poems is a delightful, illustrated collection of more than 100 spine poems that range from hilarious to heart-rending to profound. Award-winning creative director and former bookseller Annette Dauphin Simon has arranged the poems in categories that resemble those found in a bookstore: Art, Biography and Memoir, Business, Cooking, Home and Garden, Music, Parenting, Philosophy, Politics, Pop Culture, Science Fiction and Fantasy, and True Crime. Each poem pulls from a wide variety of book genres and ranges from the short and quippy to lengthier and poignant.

Each spread also includes a list of the authors and artists whose titles make up the poem, and features quotes, fun facts, and other related literary and popular culture miscellany. Spine Poems is a wonderful keepsake and gift book for all lovers of words, books, and poetry.
