Description: An erasure of the 1861 and 1862 poems of Emily Dickinson (i.e., those written at the start of the Civil War) to reflect the beginning of the war in Iraq. Dickinson's language contains much language that can be used to depict the events of that war, including the assault on the World Trade Center, the assassination of Daniel Pearl, the Abu Ghraib incident, the Bush Doctrine, and other occurrences.
