The family of the beloved children’s poet Shel Silverstein has released Every Thing On It, a collection of playful, previously unpublished poems and drawings. “I cannot see your face,” Silverstein wrote in a poem to his young readers, but in “some far-off place” he assures them, “I hear you laughing — and I smile.”

“Things to Do in Valley of the Dolls (The Movie)” by David Trinidad
Move to New York.
Lose your virginity.
Become a star.
Send money to your mother.Call pills “dolls.”
Fire the talented newcomer.
Have a nervous breakdown.
Suffer from an incurable degenerative disease.Sing the theme song.
Do your first nude scene.
Wear gowns designed by Travilla.
Become addicted to booze and dope.Scream “Who needs you!”
Stagger around in a half-slip and bra.
Come to in a sleazy hotel room.
Say “I am merely traveling incognito.”Get drummed out of Hollywood.
Come crawling back to Broadway.
Pull off Susan Hayward’s wig
and try to flush it down the toilet.End up in a sanitarium.
Hiss “It wasn’t a nuthouse!”
Get an abortion.
Go on a binge.Detect a lump in your breast.
”
Commit suicide.
Make a comeback.
Overact. -
“Only parts of us will ever touch only parts of others.”
Marilyn Monroe’s unpublished poems strip away the highly visible public persona to reveal the thoughtful, vulnerable private person longing to be truly seen.

Spencer Finch - 366, Emily Dickinson’s Miraculous Year (2009)
This work is based on Emily Dickinson in 1862, when she wrote 366 poems in 365 days. It is a real-time memorial to that year, which burns for exactly one year. The sculpture is comprised of 366 individual candles arranged in a linear sequence, each of which burns for 24 hours. The colour of each candle matches a colour mentioned in the corresponding poem. For the poems in which no colour is mentioned, the candles are made out of natural paraffin.
This is so cool.
