Using Sheep to Create Poetry


A writer has been given a grant of £2,000 to use sheep to create random poems, which also utilise the deepest workings of the universe. This report, care of the BBC.

From the piece...

The exercise is not just an attempt to create living poems, it is also, according to the poet, an exercise in quantum mechanics.

The animals being sprayed belong to farmer Donald Slater of Whitehouse Farm Centre, Morpeth, in Northumberland.

Mrs Laws, 48, said: "I like the idea of using living sheep to create a living poem, and creating new work as they move around."
