Transcript of Poetry self publish project

  1. 1. Of curse, the easiest way is to post the poem on social medias. Facebook, Wechat, Tweeter, Blogetc.
  2. 2. I decided to make little cards and book marks and write my poem on the back and give them out to people. I made all the cards by hand one by one.
  3. 3. I spent about an hour a day drawing and it took me a week to make a hundred cards
  4. 4. My poem is about life, so I drew trees, seed, Dandelion and clover on the cards.
  5. 5. The first thing I thought of was that we always realize how important health and life is when we get sick so people would reflect on this poem. I decided to ask the clinic if I can leave some cards there for people to take if they like it.
  6. 6. They agreed to let me leave the cards and a note at the front desk.
  7. 7. Then I went to the Vancouver Public Library at West Point Grey. I think, people who like to read will be more possible to enjoy poetry. I asked them if I can leave some book marks for people to take and they were very glad to agree. The only problem is that it is not allowed to take pictures inside the library, so I only have a picture right out side.
  8. 8. There is going to be a Birthday party at old barn which celebrates the kids Birthday in June. I gave some of the cards to the old barn as gifts for peoples birthday, because the content of the poem related to birth.
  9. 9. Ive met a young lady at the art studio, when I was volunteering during the summer. She has a bakery a sells cakes, so I asked her to give out the cards to pe who buy cakes from her as a gift.
  10. 10. I think it would be romantic, to receive a little card with a poem in a coffee house (and think about life). So I asked the Starbucks to leave the cards on the counter for people to take.
  11. 11. I put the cards on the counter where people usually wait for coffee and wrote a note saying take on if you like.
  12. 12. Talking about Romantic, I think it would be great to find a drifting bottle with a poem at the beautiful beach.
  13. 13. Considering that plastic bottles are not good for the environment I decided to us glass bottles. I prepared two bottles and put one poem in each. Made sure that it is tight
  14. 14. And threw it into the sea...
  15. 15. Watched it drifting away Well, because the rising tide, the bottle drifted back to the shore only about twenty meters away from me.
  16. 16. The good thing is I got to know who found them. They were happy to find the bottles and they wanted to throw them back to the sea to pass them on to others.
  17. 17. While publishing my poem, I stepped out of my comfort zone and have learned a lot.
