The reader was invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. The secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything -- as long as it is true and has never been shared with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative. It all began with an idea the author had for a community art project. He began handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places -- asking people to write down a secret they had never told anyone and mail it to him, anonymously. The response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art -- carefully and creatively constructed by hand. Addictively compelling, the cards revealed ones deepest fears, desires, regrets, and obsessions. Frank called them "graphic haiku," beautiful, elegant, and small in structure but powerfully emotional. As the author began posting the cards on his website, PostSecret took on a life of its own, becoming much more than a simple art project. It has grown into a global phenomenon, exposing our individual aspirations, fantasies, and frailties -- our common humanity. A clean very presentable copy.…

In 2004, Frank Warren started the PostSecret project and invited people to share their secrets on a postcard, posted to him anonymously. He set just two criteria for these submissions: 1. The secret must be true, 2. It must also be something never revealed to anyone else before. Since then, Warren has received more than 700,000 postcards. The cards artistically express some personal desire, hope, fear, humor, humiliation, confession, and much more. The first four compilations of Warren's chosen best secrets each made The New York Times Best Sellers list. PostSecret is an ongoing community art project with a huge web-based readership (over 600 million hits since it went live). "A fascinating public airing of private thoughtssome dark, others funny, endearing or disturbingwritten on homemade postcards. . . . The range of efforts (meticulous, sloppy, artful, ponderous) will astound you." TIME. A fascinating, addictively compelling look at people's deepest secrets, told through anonymously submitted postcards. Frank Warren is the founder and curator of the PostSecret project. For the project, which was started in October 2004, Warren asked people to write a secret they had never told anyone on a handmade postcard and mail it to him. He then displayed selected cardsthe authors are anonymouson his website, www.postsecretdotcom. The response was overwhelming, and the cards are astonishing in their honesty and creativity. Each card bears an intimate, powerful, or even chilling sentiment, told through handmade illustrations, photographs, collages, and other creative means. Among the thousands of amazing cards Warren received are the following messages: "Sometimes when I'm having sex with my wife I'm thinking of my mom."; "He's been in prison for two years because of what I did. Nine more to go."; "I waste office supplies because I hate my boss.; "I am a Southern Baptist pastor's wife. No one knows that I do not believe in God."; "I have to shave my toes. (I am a woman.)". For the book Warren has personally selected about 300 postcards that powerfully reflect the unique essence of this remarkable project. …
