Poetry Chapbook - UMO by Sacha Archer

A sound poem based on an erasure, UMO is Sacha Archer’s third chapbook published by The Blasted Tree. After treating a children’s book about an elephant to the prisoner’s constraint via a process of selective erasure (an artist’s book project undertaken in 2018), Archer was left with a long poem entirely composed of words without ascenders or descenders. This sound poem has been printed on grey paper and bound into tall and skinny chapbooks (4.5” x 11.5”) in circus red cover stock. A limited edition of 60 chapbooks is now available from The Blasted Tree Store, and you can read the poem online following the link below.
