ERASURES

Erasure is a process by which you can take any text and from it, create a poem.

Below you will find a number of source texts. Choose one by clicking on the title. You will be sent to a new page where you can click on any word or punctuation mark to make it disappear. Clicking where it was will make it return. By removing much of the text a newly sculpted text (poem) appears.

When you are done creating your poem, you can save it to our archive, print it, or email it. To get a sense of the variety of poems that can be written from a given text, look through our archive. We will be putting up new source texts on a regular basis.
