Author: Flappy

Flappy is an enigmatic and unconventional poet known for their ultra-short, often single-word poems that challenge traditional notions of poetry. Born in the late 1990s (exact year unknown), Flappy adopted their unusual mononym early in their career, refusing to disclose their birth name or gender identity.

Flappy's work is characterized by its minimalism, wordplay, and ability to evoke complex emotions or ideas with extreme brevity. Their poems often appear as public art installations, with single words or short phrases displayed in unexpected urban settings.

Notable works:

  • "One" (a collection of 100 one-word poems)
  • "Spaces" (an interactive digital poetry experience)
  • "Flutter" (a collaboration with visual artists, pairing short poems with abstract art)

Flappy's unconventional approach has sparked debates in literary circles about the nature and boundaries of poetry. They have a cult following among younger readers and are particularly popular on social media platforms.

Despite (or perhaps because of) their minimalist style, Flappy has been awarded several prestigious poetry prizes and has been a artist-in-residence at various international institutions.
