This is absolutely brilliant use of erasure. I responded a lot to “the Government/a dress/of grievance”
Thank you, Shaun. So funny! I just came from your page.
I’ve had two straight days of not being able to detach from the U.S. train wreck, so all I can think about is political fallout.
So well done. I love where you started and where you ended. Really powerful.
Thank you, Beatrice. I had no idea where this would go, so I found what emerged very interesting.
This is so interesting, Ellen. I really am intrigued with the process, but especially where it ended up!
Thanks, Nancy. I love doing erasures. Just another way to uncover the subconscious.
I love the disruption shown in this erasure.
Thanks for reading, Pam! I’ve been absent from these spaces this month.
And yes, the people grieve.
They sure as hell do!
Very effective erasure, Ellen.
Thanks, Oh erasure queen!
You and Karen George are both inspiring me to try erasures–so damn powerful (when you’re so skilled with it, anyway).
Thank you.
