This article considers the “erasure poetry” of Uljana Wolf and Christian Hawkey, who revise Elizabeth Barret Browning’s sonnets and their translation by Rainer Maria Rilke, and argues that the genre is not a purely textual phenomenon, but polyvalent in terms of mediality and multimodality. Through the analysis of a pair of bilingual sonnets (English and German), we highlight different aspects of “erasure poetry”: the intertextuality linked to the erasure of features of the source texts, the new relations created between the English and German versions of the sonnets, and the particular visual aspect which foregrounds material aspects of the text and the printed book
