FOR YOU Sister Corita Kent
This is a poem for my son--who
has been battling cancer for 11 years and is now 40.
Yesterday we had test results and Sister Corita's work was
there for me. I have always been a big fan of her work since
the sixties. Her found poetry image for this was LIFE
magazine...mine is hers.

About Sister
Corita Kent:
Corita Kent
(November 20, 1918 – September 18, 1986), aka Sister
Mary Corita Kent, was born Frances Elizabeth Kent in
Fort Dodge, Iowa. Kent was an artist and an educator who
worked in Los Angeles and Boston. She worked almost
exclusively with silkscreen and serigraphy, helping to
establish it as a fine art medium. Her artwork, with its
messages of love and peace, was particularly popular
during the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. Kent
designed the 1985 annual "love" stamp.

Definition Material:
From
Poets.org:
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.
and
from
Wikipedia:
Found poetry is a type of
poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole
passages from other sources and re-framing them as poetry by
making changes in spacing and/or lines (and consequently
meaning), or by altering the text by additions and/or
deletions. The resulting poem can be defined as either
treated: changed in a profound and systematic manner; or
untreated (verbatim): virtually unchanged from the order,
syntax and meaning of the original.
