From the web site: The Eerdmans blog put me on to this gallery of book spine poems. I’ve never heard of such a thing before, but I think it’s a wonderful idea. Luckily, in my house there are books everywhere: and there is almost no method of organisation. On the same shelf you might find Harry Potter, plus a toddler’s picture book, plus a book of prayers and something about vampires and the poems of T. S. Eliot, plus a cookbook and a mildewy edition of Thomas Aquinas and something no longer recognisable after the children have defaced it with crayons and sand and glue. A perfect way to arrange your shelves (I discovered) if you are an aspiring book spine poet! So after rummaging around the house for a while, here are five poems – one of which is really a complete systematic theology.
From the website - National Poetry Month 2012 has arrived, and we’re celebrating with book spine poetry. Three (maybe even four) cheers for everyone who gave it a try. But the month has just started – if you try book spine poetry during the month of April, snap a picture, post it to your blog, or email it to me at scopenotes at gmail dot com. I’ll add to this gallery for the entire month.

Illustration: “Zoom Into the Human Bloodstream”
Deft manipulation of perspective gives viewers a detailed look inside the human circulatory system.
The relationship between a tiny oxygen atom and the giant organ of the heart was accomplished with a common painting technique that fits many scales into a single picture, according to Jennifer Frazier of San Francisco’s Exploratorium.

All kidding aside, I’m a sucker for scale visualizations like this. Lovely work.
