PoetryCard® products are credit card-sized word toys that feature three rotating "word wheels" with 10 words on each wheel. You can rotate the wheels so the words are displayed through windows on the front of the card, creating poetic statements or ideas.

Every PoetryCard® contains one thousand poetic possibilities. The phrases express various facets of potential human experience. We hope that explorations with PoetryCards will expand one's perceptions of the poetics of life.

History
"The Oxford English Dictionary traces the etymology of the word "volvelle" to the medieval Latin, "volvellum," or "volere" - "to turn" - describing it as 'an old device consisting of one or more movable circles surrounded by other graduated or figured circles, serving to ascertain the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the status of the tides, etc.' Early volvelles were typically constructed of paper or parchment."

"Volvelles have been used since the Middle Ages to measure, record, predict, determine, map and calculate everything from time and space to military history and pharmaceutical compounds.

"Twentieth century volvelles - often referred to as "wheel charts" - offer everything from inventory control to color calibration, mileage metering to verb conjugation, fortune telling to metrics conversions.

"From the 1930s to 1950s, America witnessed a sharp rise in the production of wheel charts and related rotational ephemera."

(From "Reinventing the Wheel," 2002, Jessica Helfand, a guide to the history and samples of vintage and modern-day wheel charts.)
