Why are we here? What happens when we die? What time does Love Island USA come on tonight? Yes, life is full of questions. Luckily, Wisconsin’s newspaper of record, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, is here to answer them. And ask them.
If you follow the Journal Sentinel (and/or subscribe, which you totally should), you’ve likely noticed it constructs many of its headlines in the form of questions. When seen together in a social media feed, these questions create a cacophony of endless inquires about topics both big and and small. And if those questions are collected and rearranged sans context, they can be turned into something like found poetry. Or, at the very least, like those videos where Jonathan Frakes asks you things.
So please enjoy this month’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel headline poem, crafted from headlines that ran in June. And seriously, subscribe.
