Human expression is never orderly.
​It is a space of disruption.To let ourselves express means to be vulnerable.​It means to invert syntax so as to articulate the visceral.

J. I. Kleinberg

J.I. Kleinberg is an artist, poet, freelance writer, and co-editor of 56 Days of August (Five Oaks Press 2017) and Noisy Water: Poetry from Whatcom County, Washington (Other Mind Press, 2015). A Pushcart and Best of the Net nominee, her found poems have appeared in Diagram, Heavy Feather Review, Rise Up Review, The Tishman Review, Hedgerow, Otoliths, and elsewhere. She lives in Bellingham, Washington, and blogs most days at thepoetrydepartment.wordpress.com.

​About the work: “While the black background and the similar font styles and sizes make this look like an erasure poem, it is in fact a collage of short phrases found in five different magazines. This piece is part of an ongoing series of collages (more than 1700 to date) that explore and recombine phrases created unintentionally through the accident of magazine page design. Within each chunk of magazine text (roughly the equivalent of a poetic line) the words on one line relate to the words on the next line only by physical proximity, not by their original sense or syntax. The text is not altered and includes no attributable phrases.”
