This week I’m sharing the third installment archiving my Instagram poetry project entitled @poetryamano (poetry by hand). This account focuses on sharing poems written by hand, either in longhand or more experimental forms such as erasures/blackout poems and found poems.
Below are the highlights from March 2017. This month found me moving from handwritten poems to erasures. Can’t believe I’ve been at it for over a year.
Be sure to check out the first and second installments of the archive – and if you’re on Instagram, follow @poetryamano for the full happenings.
Stay tuned next week for more of the usual Influence happenings. For now, enjoy these forays into variations on the short lyric!
3 word poems: An idea picked up from Roberto Bolaño’s novel The Savage Detectives.
One of my first erasures, trying to work out a surreal image.

Happy amano-ing!
