Alligators of Abraham cover

To welcome Robert Kloss’s The Alligators of Abraham into the world, I chopped, twisted, torqued, and reshaped his words into some new spin-off texts based on Oulipean methods. Here you’ll find a lipogrammatic rendering of one of his paragraphs without the letter “e,” a couple of paragraphs with all the nouns replaced, a cento, or found poem, and a snowball and reverse snowball using words from his original text.

Clay took my author photo and the picture on the “About” page. He’s extremely talented and a great guy to boot, and it was truly a blast to wander around the sidewalks and into the nooks and alleys of Chelsea on the shoot. His website is www.clayenos.com, and I highly recommend browsing around to get a sense of the incredible range and scope of his work.
