Yesterday, 23rd of March, I've been asked to participate to a writing workshop with the OuLiPo members.
The "OuLiPo" group has taken a formal state in 1960, when mathematicians and writers have decided to
defend and illustrate french literature. Today, the OuLiPo aims to stimulate and preserve the language we
have inherited by complex discussions and creating mazes in literature.
To stimulate our minds and constrain us to think about another way to put up with language, they've asked
us to come up with "CHICAGO" poems. Its basically a poem composed of four verses and homosynthaxes
together with synonyms to form a word in the end...yeah I didn't get it the first time either.
Here you go, some Chicagos I came up with.... and since the theme was about architecture, please do enjoy:
