Default Found sapphics: The Modern Palmist

Hi,

This is a hybrid work-in-progress. Context is that I made four erasure poems using 'The Modern Palmist' (a vintage book) as a source way back in April. The erasure poem aimed to follow a sapphic verse stress pattern,

I also aimed to subvert the meanings in the original text.

One of the original images (hand of an ecologist) is pending pub in 'Petrichor'

I'm now working at turning the four images in to a tunnel book, to see if they work. The image is a rough snapshot of the loose images - I still need to bind them.

The print quality is horrible in these, as they're just printed on my basic (old) inkjet. But, beyond aghast sighs at print quality - how do these work for you?

Full erasure text reads; art and bone the palmist must shape the fingers/ rules and lines an intricate spiders web/free from blame he dances and sways through fortunes/ delicate worries.

WIP below (this is a snap of the hard copy so far):



I'd be hugely grateful to find out how this works for people - I may not be able to edit this piece too much but I can use comments to see if the method works and/or how to make it more effective if I try again
