Others alike (poemsmadeofspam .blogspot.com)

I just found a blog titled “Anthology of Spam Poetry“. The blog has been up and running for more then a year and seem to have extensive amounts of information about Spam as Poetry.

Welcome to the Anthology of Spam Poetry Internet page ~ also known as the Collection of Spam Bards document.My name is Morton Hurley and I maintain this site as a means of preserving and promoting the art of poetry developed from spam messages.

The author himself, Morton Hurley, also seem to have written a book on the subject.

Do you find this sort of thing interesting? Can you believe a publishing company has published a book collecting the first sixty spoems from this site along with original photography from readers and essays from K. Silem Mohammad and me?

The publisher, also running a blog, can be found here. The description of the publisher reads as follows:

Vértice 1925 will publish books of experimental literature and poetry. Our first two publications will explore literary aspects of the spam email movement.

I think I’ll add both of those links to my blogroll!
