Wordle Lighghgt is an homage to Aram Saroyan’s 1960s one-word minimalist poem. A modified screenshot of my February First (2022) Wordle game is a contemporary redesign of Saroyan’s National Endowment for the Arts-funded one-word (seven-lettered) poem, “Lighght.”

Bringing the two works of conceptual art into economic dialog, Wordle Lighght is my first NFT. “Lighght” depicted as a Wordle-inspired digital art collectable is available at auction. The goal is to have it increase to double-the-price of Saroyan's original $750 NEA award. When a sale at that price is made, half of the funds will be awarded to the poet.

An email thread between burrough and Saroyan is available to the owner of this NFT.
