Found poetry

[4] Marquive Stenzel describes the Dadaism movement with its readymade philosophy as a predecessor for the practice that later became found poetry.

An example of found poetry appeared in William Whewell's "An Elementary Treatise on Mechanics":[6] Hence no force, however great, can stretch a cord, however fine, into an horizontal line which is accurately straight.

It features hundreds of found poems selected from newspapers, ads and everyday printed matter, some involving collage techniques, others displayed as readymades.

In 2003, Slate writer Hart Seely found poetry in the speeches and news briefings of Donald Rumsfeld.

Another well-known example of a public figure's speech being converted into found poetry was the baseball play calls of Phil Rizzuto.

An example is Rizzuto's thoughts on the death of Yankees catcher Thurmon Munson in an airplane crash: "The Man in the Moon"

It emphasizes the poetry found in ordinary places, and employs traditional poetic forms such as the Shakespearean sonnet as well as free verse.

The quarterly journal featured traditional centos and poems taken from textbooks, Marcel Duchamp paintings, Charles Manson's trial testimony, AOL search data, Emily Post's etiquette books, Wikipedia articles, Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, Wonder Woman comics and more.

In a literary critic Galina Rymbu's opinion, «Bot Conversation»[14] of Yuri Rydkin is written in the genre of found poetry.
