"What I enjoy most about writing erasure poems is finding words out of an imperfect or problematic text. It is just like being forced to use English—we have to find the precise words from a problematic language to convey our colonized and dispossessed rage, sorrow, and hope." oh Yessss. as another fellow filipino forced to use English from a very young age, thank you for putting it into words <3
Beautiful. Necessary. Moving. Inspiring.
