UnfortunatelyLit By Frank D. Hill
This erasure was created using language from pages 4 through 6 of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Investigation of the Chicago Police Department.
Frank D. Hill is a freelance writer and (happily) former attorney and mediator who lives with his wife and daughter in Illinois. His poetry has appeared in Communion Arts Journal and as part of the online exhibit, Dream Geographies.
Why we chose this piece: We really like the concept, minimalist structure, and execution of this poem, and it’s striking that Frank used a DOJ report to illustrate his point. This piece does exactly what it needs to do and does it successfully.
