Erasure of pages of text from Emily Malbone Morgan’s book of the same title (1890).
Description
Vermont Poet Laureate and essayist, Ruefle is also known as an “erasure” artist whose treatments of nineteenth century texts have been widely exhibited. Erasure refers to the method of concealing words to highlight emerging text. This book was composed by whiting out most of Morgan’s words written in 1890 and creating haiku-like poems: …. seven centuries of ... sobbing … gathered … in the twilight … and … had their … pages … wandered … through.
