Ali Znaidi created “An Outcry” from The Book of the Damned by Charles Fort (1919). Please click here to read.
About the poem and the process of composing it, Ali Znaidi writes:
This erasure poem was an exercise in joy and freedom, as I took a single page and continually crossed out the words that sound silent. Hence, “An Outcry” took shape and came to life in the form of a speculative poem with only those words that outcry.
