[sing]

Robin Turner created [sing] from Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome (1911). Please click here to read.

About the poem and the process of composing it, Robin Turner writes:

[sing] is made from a page of Edith Wharton’s 1911 novella. In January 2025 I decided to begin an erasure project as a daily creative practice. I wanted a text that I had never read and had no attachment to, and then a used copy of Ethan Frome presented itself for $3 at a dusty old neighborhood bookshop. I have worked on transforming a page each day since and find the process wonderfully meditative and satisfying.
