About the Book
Border Crossings: Immigration advice for those attempting to cross borders, is a pamphlet of poetry as advice. Border Crossings advises potential immigrants using many forms of erasure poetry - and all that the form implies through omission and inclusion. The erasure poems in this collection use white-out and black-out along with algorithms such as The Deletionist to create new stories. Through erasure poetry Border Crossings asks questions about our how we define ourselves, raising issues about our tenuous understandings of nationality, borders and the circumstances of migration.

These are poems both created and found. Revealing and concealing.
