Found poems take existing texts and refashion them, reorder them, and present them as
poems. The literary equivalent of a collage, found poetry is often made from newspaper
articles, street signs, graffiti, speeches, letters, or even other poems A pure found poem
consists exclusively of outside texts: the words of the poem remain as they were found, with
few additions or omissions. Decisions of form, such as where to break a line, are left to the
poet.
Now that you've gathered myriad words, phrases and images from Night, compose your own
found poem based on a unifying theme or concept.
