When French Women Cook

by Benoa

Here’s a poem I wrote a few years ago using the only the book titles I could see from my seat at the cafe in the bookstore.

I added the punctuation.

On each line are all actual book titles (or part of book titles), including the first line of the poem.

Tell me what you think.

If anyone knows a word for this type of found/aggregate art, please let me know.

Please link me , in the comments, to any other similar type of works, especially your own. Thanks!

When French Women Cook

When french women cook

le cordon bleu at home,

celebrate

parisian home cooking!

Lulu’s provençal table:

made in marseille.

Entertaining

vineyard tales,

dinner after dark,

a kiss guide to wine.

Inspired gatherings,

simple french food:

the perfect mix.

you’re invited!

Cooking to hook up –

the way to a man’s heart.
