This project examines erasure poetry within immigrant and diasporic writing as both an aesthetic technique and a political practice. In diasporic communities, histories are often fragmented, overwritten, or misrecorded. More than a literary form, erasure then becomes a way of negotiating loss, silence, and oppression. I will argue that erasure poetry serves two opposing functions. On one hand, it reproduces the violence that it attempts to speak out against, replicating forms of omission, redaction, and silencing. On the other hand, it transforms those absences into new meanings, allowing poets to write through what has been lost rather than attempting to recover fully. The reader is asked to view the gaps between words as generative, rather than deficient—shifting absence from limitation into meaning-making. Focusing on writers such as Solmaz Sharif, Niina Pollari, Srikanth Reddy, Myung Mi Kim, and Victoria Chang, this project combines close reading, comparative analysis, and situates erasure poetry within diaspora, postcolonial, and archival theory.
