Found Poetry Collections (14 books)

Found poetry is a form of poetry that pulls words and phrases from an existing text and recontextualizes them as new poems. Found poetry can be written in free verse, presented erasure or blackout poetry (in which the original text is erased or overwritten, creating a visual element), or a variety of other formats.

The only rule for this list is that each book should be completely dedicated to found poetry in any form.
