Afterword(s): Take a Book/Leave a Book is a "110-line found poem constructed of lines appropriated from the final passages of 20 different books being 'recycled' by the author. Starting with 10 last lines from 10 discarded books, the author swaps out one book at a time at a 'Take a Book/Leave a Book' library and replaces one of the 10 lines at a time, each time forming a new 10-line stanza." -- Richard Holeton
