MILK. by Gertrude Stein #7

This new special edition of Poems in the Public Domain was created for Tezos @ South Beach 2023 and in celebration of fxhash 2.0.

Expanding on the original project, MILK. lets collectors personalize their iterations by including their own annotations at mint time. An acknowledgement of the deeply personal nature of reading, these annotations will also be used to create a separate “communally annotated” version of the piece, to be distributed to holders once the exhibition closes. In composing your annotations, we encourage creativity, implore respect, and recommend minimal use of special characters.

When a poem enters the public domain, it no longer belongs to its author but to its readers, who help ensure others will read it. 

By minting a copy of MILK., you are participating in a uniquely modern form of this ageless cycle. Readers, like you, write poetry’s survival.
