Something new in the list this time: a translation of a poem. I liked it, so I added it. Would love to get feedback on what you think of having translations in the list. We will start the digest with the recent mints from the Best Friends project by OddWritings. He is minting poems from his forthcoming book regularly on a growing selection of blockchains. Now even on the Shape L2. This project has been running for a while, and you will have seen previous pieces in previous issues of the digest. I am experimenting with the position in the digest that does this project he most justice. Of course, I'm open to suggestions in the comments.

also arjan thanks so much for your kind words! the book is due out around december 20th, so the project should end shortly before then. Each page with the poem has a QR code which scans to the blog entry for that poem, and from there the user can link to all the blockchain versions of it - both primary and secondary markets. Hopefully in the future poetry lovers who buy the book can then get involved with poetry NFTs that way.
i love the header image! i imagine each bubble as being a poem emerging from the froth of reality ❤️
