These poems are from a manuscript titled The Abridged Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which is a collection of erasures I've performed on The Poems and Plays of Alfred Lord Tennyson (New York: The Modern Library, 1938). Erasures that readers should check out post-haste: Kent Leatham's “Eliz be h Bishop: ‘One R ’”, Mary Ruefle's Marie, and Brooke Wonders' “Self-erasure.”
