Found Magazine #8 (2005) continues the series’ mission of showcasing the strange, funny, and moving scraps of paper, notes, photos, and lists discovered by everyday people and sent in from around the world. Edited by Davy Rothbart, this issue gathers another batch of raw, unfiltered glimpses into private lives—love notes passed in class, angry breakups written on napkins, cryptic to-do lists, fragments of dreams, and oddball sketches.
As always, the material veers from hilarious to heartbreaking, sometimes within a single page. The randomness is the point: together, these lost and found objects form a kind of accidental collective diary, reminding readers of the weird, fragile, and deeply human moments that slip through the cracks of daily life. Issue #8 keeps the Found tradition alive—celebrating the poetry of the discarded.
