The Ultimate Found Poem

The f.p. or object trouvé is

the presentation of something ‘found’

in the environment – a piece of

expository prose, a snatch of poetry,

or dramatic dialogue, a newspaper

page, document, map,  painting, photograph,

etc. – as a lineated text

and hence a poem, or the incorporation

of a prior text (see ALLUSION) into

a larger poetic structure.
