I recently e-mailed Deanna to ask how the poetry experiment was going at PP. I did so somewhat shamefacedly; given the turmoil PP has been going through recently at the prospect of losing federal funding, I was hesitant to add anything else to Deanna's plate. She said that she had continued to take some photos but that activity had been slowing down. I told her that I'd come with a new display that had new words and asked if this project could in any way help the PP cause. She said probably not but to call my senators in support of PP. I still want to think of anything that might link this project to some sort of campaign for PP.
The next day, she emailed me to say that someone had walked away with the notebook of recorded poems. Quite a shame to lose all that but it is also befuddling and fascinating as to why someone would do that. I'm inclined to think that the thief didn't take the notebook out of a desperate need to possess this poetry, but I cannot think of another reason to steal a partially used notebook. Maybe just the temptation of seeing something easily pilfered was too overwhelming?
I arrived today at PP with the display that had been at the laundromat to make the switch, but alas! It had been long closed. So I will have to go back soon.
