Brilliant Sun Poem by Jiyeon Song

The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice. " The whole poem: Song calls it experiential typography. See the timelapse video for the full effect. Your very flesh shall be a great poem. Nina Katchadourian.

The couple living there were both real estate agents in their forties and had been married for about five yearsÑa second marriage for both of them.

There was a great deal of literature, self-help, and motivational writing in their collection. There were also a number of instances where I discovered two copies of the same book, a telling coincidence that I tried to make use of whenever possible.
