Houston Poetry Recovery Project

A project of Bundle Press (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (February 2026). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

The newspaper archive is filled with curiosities, pigeonholes, mythologies of everyday life, and mysteries. Headlines, ads, classifieds, font types, illustrations, and photos can all inspire new creative conversations.
The Houston Poetry Recovery Project is seeking work from Houston or gulf coast based artists who take local, historic newspapers as their source.
Poems can be erasures, found poems, or something totally new. All forms are encouraged as long as a creative link is made between the newspaper source and the new work.
Newspaper sources can be any Houston or Gulf Coast area publication, in any language.
Poems may respond to any newspaper text published in the 19th or 20th century.
