Gentle Reader! is a collaborative book of erasures of Romantic era texts by Joshua Beckman, Anthony McCann, and Matthew Rohrer. -
A book that perfectly encapsulates the contradictions and complexities surrounding the English Romantics is an erasure of their works: Gentle Reader!...If you think erasure is valuable as an exercise but lacks literary merit, then I strongly recommend this book. You will find surreal images, and straightforward but astonishingly expressed statements, evidence that erasure can achieve what Wordsworth called "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings"...
