Erasures

Wave Books has a great space on their site where you can explore poems made through a process of selectively erasing words from existing texts. You can also do it yourself!

You can find it here: Erasures. (I think the save feature might be broken but you can still make poems for yourself and pdf them.) Here's mine:


his house
and the night there,
a dream, 
its comments and advice.
the moment,
it is a promise
to betray.
a gathering procession
charges him.
experience had condemned
impulse, love, and ardor
but the old poet
persuades him to enter.
