A candy poem is a series of different flavoured candy nodes strung together like words in a sentance. To experience a candy poem put it in your mouth, close your eyes and let your tongue translate the flavours into images. Each candy poem is a unique collaboration with the taster's memories and associations.

Candy poems were left in hidden nooks in public places for people to take. People were free to decide for themselves whether the candy was left for them as a gift or whether they were stealing the candy--an act which leaves their agency intact.
