8 - Erasing Eris Things you need to know: * Eris is the unpleasant, bitter, Greek deity of Chaos and Discord. * This took me for-bloody-ever… #NaPoWriMo Day 8 and yesterday I sculpted an erasure poem, inspired by a prompt of “Eridanus”, courtesy of my handy-dandy randomised prompts-and-topics spreadsheet. And, being me, I went a bit extra with it all (we’re all astonished, I know), and decided that the thing I would be erasing would be the entire bloody Wikipedia article, and then, in order for the audio version to match the spirit of the visual version, that I would record me reading the entire bloody Wikipedia article aloud and cut the concomitant bits out of the recording for authenticity. I can certainly say I’ve learned some things, though what they might be, only time can tell… (The image description for this is going to be… special, for one…) Remember that, if you’re a subscriber to my Patreon, you can hear a recording of this piece (and the seven preceding it) there. And it is certainly an experience! The link to the relevant post is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/erasing-eris-155174189 --- Two halves of the redacted article side-by-side: Or, if you’d like to see the whole darned thing in a oner: --- Fine, I’ll have pity on you – here’s the version rendered into plain words: Eris stretches along the south. It is a river. It remains one of the real features of the blue-white years, whose tradition means “the end”. Peculiar observations indicate poles spinning extremely rapidly. The noteworthy Beta tradition called a blue-white Earth. Its foot gives indistinguishable amateurs primary binary magnitude; visible, divisible: a triple system consisting of an orange main star, a white dwarf, and a red dwarf. The maga is easily visible white. The maga have a period of 50 years. Artists impress, ran – one extra orange-hued star, one planet, a period of 7 years. Supervoid cold spot is large (devoid of gaies), meter superseded only by speculation that the void may be due to quantum entanglement between our universe and another. Deep-sky visible in small amateurs with large instruments light the northeast. Eris is a faint reflection, an ancient remnant illuminated by grand design. barred gays center an unusual structure: a grand design spiral that exists tightly wound. The Nu Eris shower radiate cons every year; the parent is unidentified. Another peaks, dips his paws into Eris; this mirror depicts a river, flowing into the south. According to one theory, the marsh is held sacred to the domain of the Abyss: a myth of the father, no strength to control and so veers, scorching both Earth and heaven. Zeus intervene and cast him to the burning river! Eris cannot be seen from China. The White Tiger of the West was classified knowledge of western stars. Citation needed.

Latest piece: 8 - Erasing Eris: Things you need to know:





* Eris is the unpleasant, bitter, Greek deity of Chaos and Discord.

* This took me for-bloody-ever…

Scan of an erasure poem pasted on top of scraps of old magazine pages, wjth some tears in the papers, and black paint smeared on haphazardly. The erasure poem is done in blackout style, and the words left exposed read "she needed to go/so/she walks through her brain,/and/won't come back./silent,/she stares/dreaming

Bad scan from an old notebook, featuring erasure.

Scan of a book that has been altered. On the left page is an erasure poem which reads: "I lose hope/ it's hard to survive/it's hard to breathe/ it's in the bones/ this tragedy we come home to." On the right is a collage of magazine photos showing various textures, such as a tiled wall, and a gate. A found poem reads: "I want to rewind the time and start over. I want oblivion."

I lose hope/ it's hard to survive/it's hard to breathe/ it's in the bones/ this tragedy we come home to.

Erasure Poem asked on The Captives by Thomas Merton

Text of an erasure poem based on The Captives by #ThomasMerton #ErasurePoem #BardoPoetry

A book sits open on a dark wood surface. Nearby are a large vintage key, two antique books stacked, and a wheat penny. Part of a white rock is just visible in the top left. The book has been altered with a collage on the bottom of the page made from various strips of yellowed papers cut from a magazine with uncoated pages, like a newspaper. Above the collage is an erasure poem. The erased words have been blocked out with round stamps. The kept words have been boxed with pen. It reads: In complete darkness/ nothing but/ thoughts/ and utterly alone.

Erasure poem in a book I've been altering for some time.
