In honor of National Poetry Month, and inspired by my enjoyment of IT, I am writing 30 erasure poems using this text as (properly cited) source material.
Here is a link to one of the poems on my blog:
His Teeth | ITSPOETRY
It would be amazing if Stephen King himself read this post. I know it's a long shot that I'll get a response; I wrote a series of erasure poems from a Hemingway book a few years ago and never heard back from him about my poems*, but thought it couldn't hurt to try again to reach out to an author whose work I admire and enjoy chopping up to create poetry, as an expression of that admiration.
* Maybe he changed his address. Or went to a long meditation retreat.**
** These are both fairly good euphemisms for what really happened to him, rendering him extremely unlikely to answer fan mail
