Erasure poem by Zev
  • Note from the writer:- What you read above is exactly the opposite of the comment whence it was erased. I’ve not read anything more obnoxious, but then, how else this beautiful and powerful piece could have been found, if not for bigots like her.

Turn It Into Love

Cut-up, erasure, Cento and free-form remixed works to find beauty hidden within ugly texts. Why feed the hate when you can turn it into love?
