In this clip, Jordan Abel delves into his writing process for Place of Scraps, particularly how he came to use erasure techniques on Marius Barbeau's text Totem Poles. From this a discussion ensues on how readers can, or should, approach and read Place of Scraps. Abel's poetry makes use of fragmented words and images alongside more traditional narrative (for an example, please refer to Jordan Abel's Reading).
