The Roman poet Ovid's The Art of Love instructed women on the "art" of seduction and men in the "art" of romantic conquest. It is a classic, sexist text on men, women, love, and sex.
In her second book of erasures, JM Farkas takes on Ovid's Ars Amatoria, or "The Art of Love." With her signature feminist, revisionist twist, Farkas speaks to emerging girl poets. How to Be a Poet is not only for writers, but for anyone who wants to create her own story. In addition to the erasure, How to Be a Poet includes a second version of the poem in a style that leaves the original text visible for readers who want to read the scandalous source material.
