Here are a few more poems from Sell People Things They Don’t Need, a book of collage poetry I first published in 2007. The poems were mostly composed between 2000-2005. While I didn’t notate the sources of the material I can tell that it was collected from spam email (hence the title of the book), and general personal email and group emails from Fluxlist and a few other Yahoo art or poetry mail groups that I participated in at that time. Plus there is probably other materials drawn from articles online.
