Great post, Bryan. I reviewed the Penguin book here https://terryfreedman.substack.com/p/review-of-the-penguin-book-of-oulipo and am in the process of writing other reviews. I shall explore your links too!

Thanks, Terry - glad you liked it. I'll definitely check out your review of the Penguin book, too. Having returned to the classroom as an English teacher, I think this will prove helpful on those days when struggling for creative writing inspiration. Thanks also for the link to my post - I really appreciate it!

This has been a really great read aboard The Bus this morning - thanks, Bryan! I'd first heard about 'Oulipo' from Terry Freedman's 'Eclecticism' newsletters, and it's great to read more about it here. I'm going to be checking out the Oulipo resources you've given in the footnotes!

Thanks, Rebecca - it's always great to hear when someone enjoys the ride! Oulipo is a very interesting group - and writing about them has rekindled an interest which I'm keen to explore. Something that seems to happen frequently as I dip into these various topics!
