The document outlines the 7 step process for publicizing a poem by slipping it inside special books at a local library. The poet first writes and prints the poem. They then cut it out and go to the library, choosing 10 books to hide the poem within. The poem is slipped inside each book before shelving. The hope is that a child will one day pick up one of those books and discover the hidden poem, allowing the cycle to continue.
2. One Does Not Need Much
One does not need much,
Step 1: Writing the Poem When a forest of books towers
Over their heads.
One does not need much,
When elves and pixies
Dance and hop around their feet.
One does not need much,
When Cinderella, Jack and Thumbelina
Come to life while
Drinking a cup of tea
With the crazy hatter.
One does not need much,
When a pleasurable silence
Deafens one’s ears.
One does not need much,
When they watch a princess toss and turn
Upon a single,
Green pea.
One does not need much,
When they watch little dwarves
Build the perfect shoe
And a beanstalk come to life
Underneath a full moon.
Inside a library,
One does not need much,
When a forest of books towers
Over their heads.
