I am always interested in how different poets approach the page and how different erasure artists approach their source texts.

In January 2025, my brilliant friend, X. P. Callahan, posted her Erasure: In the Cage of Breath, a digital text alteration and video.

Her work spoke to me, called to me. I wrote owl in response, using the same source text.

Here is the call: X. P. Callahan at Diary Poems.

And here is the source text: Carolyn Forché, “Harmolypi”
