Pillage Laud is a major long poem that selects from computer-generated sentences (using the program MacProse created by Charles O. Hartman) to produce "lesbo sex poems." The basic compositional unit of Pillage Laud is therefore not the word but the sentence. These individual sentences are breathtakingly devoid of clichs; they open up meaning and sensation. On the "macro" level, Mour assembles lines to produce a larger reading through successive, repetitive contextualizations. In Pillage Laud, Erin Mour has taken the mad risk of surrendering intention and authorship to language; the result is the thwack of utopian pleasure through which both she and the reader emerge forever restructured and entwined.
