Some Square Poems

Another new digital chapbook: Some Square Poems, with 140 very short square poems. (“Square,” by the way, here means that the number of syllables per line matches the number of lines in the poem. It’s an arbitrary constraint I made up for myself on this project, though it turns out I’m not the only one who has thought of it and given it the same name. Or perhaps I once read about the form and then promptly forgot that I had.) It’s available for free in PDF.

I’ve been working on these for about a month, writing them down in my Field Notes notebook, and have had a lot of fun with the form. The typesetting was also fun; I initially set it in Freight Text but then, after designing the cover, switched to Futura to match.
