A thing I've been doing lately is making collage poems from random Wikipedia pages. It's a pretty fun exercise

The following poem is styled like a Wikipedia page, with linked footnotes after each line: Duplication World governments jointly publicize the duplication of over two hundred human beings Volleyball events were contested at Kansas State an Estonian politician required to face a by-election Notable people in the family criticized the law enforcement agencies for the security lapse a village forms a relatively isolated enclave which denounced the dehumanizing environment of the modern metropolis

This one is part of a larger poem but I kind of like it on its own tbh

(the full text is here: https://emmajuettner.com/found-wikipoetry/what-i-know-or-hints.html )

Another poem also formatted like a Wikipedia page with footnotes: In May 2014, it was announced the (vegan) return of her cult She turned 100 Internet stars into Gnomes

Finally got around to writing up a little blog post about my Wikipedia found poetry project. (also updated my short story recommendations page for the first time in a while!)
