Showcases a creative exchange between federally incarcerated women and members of the prison-education think tank Walls to Bridges Collective at the Grand Valley Institution for Women. Working collaboratively by long-distance mail, the artists and contributors made the first-ever poetic adaptation of Frankenstein.
Who gets to write poetry? Whose voices are made public? Whose voices are heeded? These are the questions at the heart of Erasing Frankenstein. This book tells the story of a public humanities project involving federally incarcerated women and university students in which participants collaboratively created a long erasure poem using Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as source text. What happens when we remake the monster?
