5/26/2023 0 Comments Foundlings by Cindy O'Quinn![]() I’ll wait while you give your head a shake. First we get O’Quinn’s found poems, then Ellis’, and in the last section we then also get to see them take it to a whole other level by crafting Haiku’s as well. What I liked: The book is separated in different sections. ![]() Addison and Alessandro Manzetti, both of whom are phenomenal writers on their own right. ![]() ![]() Within ‘Foundlings,’ O’Quinn and Ellis focus on the poetry of the amazing duo of Linda D. Time and time again they demonstrate their talent as well as their kindness, so seeing them team up for this release had me super excited. Which brings me to ‘Foundlings.’ Cindy O’Quinn and Stephanie Ellis are not only two of my favorite writers to read, but also two of my favorite people in the dark fiction community. It is really something and both staggering to comprehend and fantastic to read. In Found Poetry, the author essentially ‘blacks out’ portions of lines to reveal the word or words that they need to use to create their own poem. ![]() Reconstructed might not be the correct word or idea, but I’m not sure how else to describe it. In that collection, McHugh reconstructed sections of ‘The Secret Garden’ to create vivid poems. To me, a poetry novice (read uneducated in all of the forms of poetry!), my first experience with Found Poetry was with last years ‘Strange Nests’ by Jessica McHugh. ![]()
