Visual Poetry Chapbook - two ten six by katie o'brien

A new series of visual poems by repeat Blasted Tree contributor katie o’brien, two ten six was made by applying the zalgo or “cursed text” effect to existing poems. Zalgo text generation involves combining numerous typographic characters with Unicode symbols to add diacritical marks above and below letters. Using this technique, o’brien has overwritten their earliest poetry manuscript to create something entirely new. The Blasted Tree has produced a limited edition of sixty 7” x 7” chapbooks hand-bound with black thread into purple covers, available now from our online store.
