Where have I been? I just stumbled upon this gem on Amazon.com: At the beginning of 2005, Frank Warren launched
a new blog called PostSecret as an experiment in community art, inviting strangers to mail him anonymous postcards that made art out of their innermost secrets and then posting a selection of the cards every week on his blog. Within a year, his blog was one of
the five most popular in the world, and his first book,
PostSecret, was one of the surprise bestsellers of 2005. Time Magazine voted his blog as one of the "50 Coolest Websites of 2005." For
My Secret, a collectible, paper-over-board book that includes a page of vibrant, decorative stickers, Warren has personally selected never-before-seen anonymous postcards
created by teens and college students from across the country. Each card bears an intimate and powerful secret—at turns inspirational, shocking, hilarious, and poetic—that is told through original illustrations, photographs, collages, and other creative means.
