Erased by James McDermott

Buy it direct from publisher 


James brings together some “found poems” and creates others by playfully redacting words from other texts, texts of oppression – for example blotting out the “not” in Section 28, so it reads that local authorities shall promote the acceptability of homosexuality. Doing so in highlighter pink acts to the power of turning these texts of terror into texts of joy.
