hello Gregory - I don't see @harpyhybrid.bsky.social Harpy Hybrid Review in your starter pack. Do you consider hybrid to be experimental? If so - I dabble. πŸ“Œ

A block of text from a Gray’s Anatomy text book in which most of the text has been obscured by color and ink to reveal the following found poem, β€œLips”:

Elongated depression/ an actual gap/ a process/ lips and not carefully concerned and have a limited application to bones.

Piece from my ongoing found poetry project using my college Gray’s Anatomy textbook as a source text.
