Emma Filtness' Bandaged Dreams was created by performing an erasure of every paragraph in the first part of Justine by Lawrence Durrell. The erasure leaves a moving and profound love poem in its wake, an engagement with form which dreams of a heroine "free from the burden of form". Bandaged Dreams is a testament to poetry's power of renewal with a heady romanticism deep enough to drown in.
