This performance of Melissa Dunphy's "N-400 Erasure Songs: 2" was commissioned by Cantus and recorded LIVE in October 2021 as a part of Cantus touring program My Journey Yours.
From the composer:
"Erasure poetry is created by blacking out portions of pre-existing text to create a new work. Each of the poems in this cycle uses and reshapes text from the N-400, the application form that foreign-born "aliens" submit to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to be naturalized and become citizens of the United States."
