Sweet! I love erasure (aka blackout) poetry.<p>If anyone want to see some high quality examples of the form, check out:<p>- O Mission Repo, by Travis McDonald, an erasure of the 9/11 Comission Report<p>- A Humument, by Tom Phillips, an erasure of A Human Document, a victorian novel of manners; A Humument is unusual in that each page is beautifully and thematically hand painted over by Philips, not just blacked out or erased as is more typical of the form.<p>- Radi Os, by Ronald Johnson, an erasure of Paradise Lost
Really cool! I also made some blackout poetry tools back in like 2019, maybe of interest… <a href="https://mkremins.github.io/blackout/interactive" rel="nofollow">https://mkremins.github.io/blackout/interactive</a>
Hah, nice. I made this crappy version for a friend to use in a joke: <a href="https://bernsteinbear.com/redactor/" rel="nofollow">https://bernsteinbear.com/redactor/</a>
This is really cool! Any tips for finding poems hidden in a large block of text?<p>It reminds me of the poem composed from one of Trump's tweets: "O, the Pelican. so smoothly doth he crest. a wind god!" There are lots of other examples on
