Neil Gordon and Diane Keys TRASHPO

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Barkpo from Neil: 

There it is, great and raw bark, with someone's "stump treework" ad, put together by Neil along with a few other doodles on paper. The whole thing is on cardboard, and says clearly that this is Neil's design. And I love it. Also from Neil in recent months: 

"In Rust We Trust!" I'll buy that.

A terrific trashpoem of DK's turned up in the same basket today: 

Inspirational. Thank you Neil and Diane --

[DKeys]

his ears must be burning--Neil sent me the first original trashquilt made entirely of tea bag tags

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Yah, Neil takes rawness to an extraordinary level in his trashpo. I liked it from the very first (an unopenable envelope with crumpled paper inside, everything held together with directionless tape).

[DKeys]

Thanks for blogging Nancy. I miss Neil as well. He is a terrific trashpoet. His raw style is refreshing!!

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Yes, aren't they beauties? DK's trashpoems get me. I like how Neil created this whole context for his barkpo. It really works.

I hope Neil isn't completely giving up sending things. I thought he was just cutting back.

Those eco-asemic-trashpo pieces always get me. Kudos to Neil!

Wow, that is gorgeous DK piece there too.
