Magnetic Poetry

Carpe Noctem’s magnetic poetry rig is comprised of over 500 words which can be manipulated on an 8′ long by 4′ high panel made from long strips of ferrous metal. The words themselves are cut from thin plywood, sanded, painted, written on using a paint pen, and then one to three powerful earth magnets are attached to the back with epoxy depending on the length of the word.

The word bank is constantly growing and under maintenence; the complete list will be hosted here soon. If you have recommendations for words we missed, you can submit them on the contact page.

Thanks to all participants who have played with magnetic poetry! We have really enjoyed seeing the different ideas you wanted to express.
