Only 11 days left to erase your way into the winners circle!

Calling all poets, writers and other wordsmiths—there are only 11 days left to submit to the Geist Erasure Poetry Contest!

The rules are simple: create a poem from a hand-picked excerpt of Wacousta, one of the first ever Canadian novels, by erasing words and sentences until your own poetic genius emerges.

Extended Deadline: September 30, 2017. All winning entries get cash prizes and publication in Geist, so flip your pencils around and get erasing! Good things come to those who omit.
