Poezja Aktywna

Chance is the medium for Ewa Partum's active poetry.  She would take letters from literary works and scatter them in natural settings like woods or seashores.  The elements would then rearrange the letters into poems of a new random language.  A very interesting idea, especially groundbreaking in the early 70s!
