Description
A fascinating public airing of private thoughtssome dark, others funny, endearing or disturbingwritten on homemade postcards. . . . The range of efforts (meticulous, sloppy, artful, ponderous) will astound you. TIME.com
A fascinating, addictively compelling look at peoples deepest secrets, told through anonymously submitted postcards.
Frank Warren is the founder and curator of the PostSecret project. For the project, which was started in October 2004, Warren asked people to write a secret they had never told anyone on a handmade postcard and mail it to him. He then displayed selected cardsthe authors are anonymouson his website,www.postsecret.com.The response was overwhelming, and the cards are astonishing in their honesty and creativity. Each card bears an intimate, powerful, or even chilling sentiment, told through handmade illustrations, photographs, collages, and other creative means. Among the thousands of amazing cards Warren received are the following messages:
Sometimes when Im having sex with my wife Im thinking of my mom...
Hes been in prison for two years because of what I did. Nine more to go...
I waste office supplies because I hate my boss.
I am a Southern Baptist pastors wife. No one knows that I do not believe in God.
I have to shave my toes... (I am a woman...)
For the book Warren has personally selected about 300 postcards that powerfully reflect the unique essence of this remarkable project.
