My poem “American Civics: 2056” was published in River Heron Review’s Poems, For Now issue.

This is an erasure poem from American Civics: A Text Book for High Schools, Normal Schools, and Academies (1906), employing the only mentions of Blacks (“Negroes” or “slaves”) in the whole textbook.

It’s pretty much what you would think and has implications for our collective future.
