I felt I had

This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on page 43 of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. The background is predominantly collaged over with beige, brown, black, and blue papers and images. Select words and phrases have been scratched out with black pen, while others have left visible and circled for emphasis, creating a new poetic message against the collaged background.
