Poetry Bomber Sews Poems into Thrift Store Clothes

By Jason Boog 

In the video embedded above, Miami artist Agustina Woodgate illustrated the art of “poetry bombing,” sewing snippets of poems into thrift store clothes.

Here’s more from Miami New Times: “Graffiti: The art of marking a surface to convey a message. Poetry: The echoes of the sound of your synapse relays crackling. Combine the two and you’ve got poetry bombing, the method Agustina Woodgate is using to realize her project for the O, Miami poetry festival. For the past month, the artist has been sewing verse by Sylvia Plath and Li Po into jackets, pants, and dresses on thrift store shelves all over the county.”
