Circles All the Way Down Barnabas Smith

This collection of poetry was sparked by cryptic tweets sent out by Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) on Twitter during February of 2018. These one-line statements begged for a response and so a challenge was born. I would respond to each one with a poem that fits within Twitter's new 280 character limit. As the tweets came, my responses came not long after. After fifteen tweets went out, it was revealed to be a lead up to the release of the #ANYWHERE, a documentary by LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner (@labeoufronkkoturner). Over the course of two years, the collection continued to grow beyond the initial fifteen tweets into the collection you see before you.
