Typewriter Mistakes
by Eleanor Matthews

Typewriter Mistakes:
Typewriter Mistakes is also a series of concrete poetry that analyzes the form and shapes poetry takes rather than the content.
I took scans from a series of poems I wrote on a typewriter for a lover in Europe and then blacked out everything that was
intentionally placed- leaving only the inevitable mistakes you make while typing analog. While there were only eight pieces of
these in the original tiny zine print I made, I have many more of these concrete poems.
