U is an exploration of the idea that trusting your first instinct
when writing can lead to very interesting and unexpected places. It
was written using an expanded form of poetry taught in grade
school. The author chose seven letters, which by themselves are
words, as the starting points for each line, and used every
possible combination of those seven letters in succession to
establish the final structure of the piece. "Writing it was like an
inkblot exercise of sorts," Michael Hofmeister has stated. "By
forcing myself to use predetermined letters to begin each line, I
chose words I normally wouldn't use, which ended up being a unique
way to trick my subconscious into revealing what was really on my
mind at that time." Also, at some point, he started to realize the
poems were unintentionally yielding distinct physical images do to
the somewhat controlled but also random placement of the words. He
began to play with these images until they fit the page and the
project took on a whole new life as a form of word art or shape
poetry. Pull the page away from your face and let your eyes drift
for a moment and see if any images stick out from the white
landscape behind the words. Written over the course of a two week
period, U is comparable to a musical theme album in that it's best
when read straight through in one sitting.
