Spine poems — making poems out of the titles of books.
Waterstones are hosting a competition for the best spine poems, with Tate Britain tickets for the winners.
All you need to do is share a spine poem made up of a maximum of six books, as shown in the post above, on Twitter using the hashtag #gravityspinepoem.
Full details here.
I’m finding them a bit addictive…
(N.B. For the comp, I think you’re restricted to one entry but I’m having too much fun for that).
I had a bit of fun with this at 4am when I couldn’t sleep. The competition isn’t for me but I like the poem art combo thingy (4am brain talk). Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi Josephine, I’m with you, I’m not competing (I think for the competition, you have to sub just one entry and comply with the T&Cs). I’m just doing them for fun, I trashed my bookshelves this morning, finding it surprisingly addictive! I might get the kids to have a go, they’d love it.
Yes, I think kids would love this – it would also be a good ice-breaker for parties, business meetings, workshops, etc etc I have sent one over to Waterstones in any case just for the fun of it and, yes, I’ve trashed my bookshelves!
