Shortlisted for the ReLit 2022 Poetry Award ink earl takes the
popular subgenre of erasure poetry to its illogical conclusion.
Starting with ad copy that extols the iconic Pink Pearl eraser,
Holbrook erases and erases, revealing more and more. Rubbing out
different words from this decidedly non-literary, noncanonical
source text, she was left with the promise of "100 essays" and set
about to find them. Among her discoveries are queer love poems, art
projects, political commentary, lunch, songs, and entire extended
families. The absurdity of the constraint lends itself to plenty of
fun and funny, while reminding us of truths assiduously erased by
normative forces. ink earl's variations are testament in micro to
the act of poiesis as not so much a building as an intrepid series
of effacements; we rub away at the walls of language we've lived
within in order to release both what's been written over, and what
we want to say now.
