The 2012 National Poetry Month poster, designed by Chin-Yee Lai.
One more day ’til we say goodbye to National Poetry Month. It’s been a wonderful experience creating Book Spine Poems, thanks to Travis Jonker from 100 Scope Notes. This third and final set of my book spine poems is my favorite. The last one, in particular, was inspired by Neil Gaiman’s poem called Instructions.
Of Hauntings…
…Apocalypse…
…and a Mission to Save the World…
hi there! You are from Singapore right? Have you ever read anything by Cyril Wong? I am so in love with him! I am a Filipino by the way. I hope you have some Cyril Wong books there with you so you could make spine poetry with it. If I only have some, I will do, but then we don;t have his books here.
Hi! Myra here. Actually, the three of us are coming from different countries. I am currently based in Singapore, Fats is based in San Diego in the US, while Iphigene is based in the Philippines. All three of us are Pinoys. We’d love to know more of your work.
I personally have not heard of Cyril Wong yet, but I’d definitely look him up. Thanks for the recommendation. 
Wow… Philippines? I am a Filipino by the way. Just tell me anything I can do to help the site. Cyril Wong is my very dear friend, and he is very famous there. Ask any bookstore they would know him. He is like this really great young gay poet. here is his site. I know you will fall in love with his poetry too – http://cyrilwong.org/poems.html
and I can also offer my poetry for you.. or make a poem especially for your site.. what are your usual themes.. i just want to be exposed.. it is hard to be a self-published poet and indie author here in the Philippines.. i have to do things like this just to try get noticed haha i hope you know what i mean.
Sure! We’d be happy to have a few of your poems for feature on the site. We’re featuring Asian voices for our next bimonthly theme.
how can i do that? where can i send it please and what theme are you looking for? i can make some poems especially and exclusively for this site =P will upload some of my spine poetry maybe tomorrow =P
I like them all-what fun you must have had with all the books! The middle one speaks to me, but maybe because I have a fondness for those kinds of books. Thanks for the last hurrah, Fats!
