ilovewongkarwai's review against another edition
Buena idea. Poemas bonitos (¿poema?), aunque me gustaría leer otra cosa de la autora, algo más "ella" y menos... esto. No sabría cuántas estrellitas darle así que lo dejo en blanco.

I wanted to kick off the rededication of my mornings to poetry with something unassuming & undemanding; I thought white-out poetry/found poetry would do the job nicely. It did…too well, in fact. 😅 I was more ready for more words more quickly than I imagined. While a few of these caught me (p.8, 18, 22, 33), most felt like more like thin gibberish & happenstance rather than careful craft. Still, I imagine creating them was a simple pleasure.

This is honestly one of the best pieces of poetry I have ever read. Its energy is completely original, its style is a mastery of artwork and literature itself. My professor at Truman State, Jamie D'Agostino assigned me this little piece of obliterature I did not expect it to change the way I perceive writing and reading as a conceptual task. Some of Reufle's lines strike me with increasing genius, but others flow with a simplistic grace. Everything fits so perfectly without fitting into any frame at all. This is one of the most special books I have on my shelf.

I enjoyed this piece of erasure work, but I think I will enjoy it more after I learn more about how one can approach this sort of poem/work.

Someone requested this tiny book at the library and I couldn't resist flipping through it. It's found poetry where Ruefle used white out to cover most of the text. A couple of the pages really hit home.
