... About the Author ...

My name is Lourdes and I am a tired emgineering student, voracious reader, and somewhat productive writer. I am majoring in Course 3 (Materials Science and Engineering) with the intention of graduating in 2015. One day I hope to be a published authore but until then I satisfy my needs of escaping reality through reading. Until I took 21W.750 I never showed anyone my writing. It hasn't always been easy, but I feel as though I have grown as a writer.

Project Description

I am a book lover plain and simple. In the past year (2013) I read 119 books. I also spend a lot of time in the book community online discovering new books and authors. I wanted my final project for 21W.750 (Experimental Writing) to somehow incorporate my love of reading and of physical books themselves. Therefore, I chose to create a series of poems using parts of books themselves.

I will leave it up to you, the reader, to discover what part exactly I have used. I hope that parts may jump out at you that give clues to the method behind my madness. I also hope that you leave with a new found appreciation of books and reading and poetry.
