As erasure poetry can lend itself to ars poetica moments, as Jeannie Vanasco acknowledges in her Beliver article "Absent Things as if They are Present," I, too, seek out an ars poetica through re-redacting The Pentagon Papers. As I am a descendant of a Vietnam veteran, I know this identity has informed and affects me as a poet, so this project serves as a representation of it. 


plan for february 19
create a few more, looking for redactions that accomplish a lot
