Post Secret

An art project gone mainstream, Post Secret is a collection of postcards. Not just any postcards, but "secrets" -- confessions, really -- sent by anonymous readers. "I work for the Director of a religious charity. He is robbing them blind and thinks nobody knows ... but I KNOW." Or: "At my best friend's graduation today I heard a fire engine and could only think of a bomb going off, the F.D. responding. Firecrackers went off and I heard machine gun fire. When I drive in my car, as I look for oncoming traffic I also check local buildings and houses for snipers. I have been out of the military for 2 years and was only in Iraq for 4 months. I am so f**king scared of everything." Amazing, powerful stuff.
