Blank Selection

Blank Selection is a term instituted by Wendy Beach (Editor-in-Chief, Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine) to replace the common ableist “blind selection” label still in use (referring to anonymous editorial processes), and is retained as no alternative terminology currently exists. Blank Selection as a new term replaces the ableist “blind selection” practice, where judges assess poems without knowing poets’ names. The name consciously parallels blank verse’s liberation from formalist restrictions, extending this ethos to combat restrictive language in editorial processes.
The poetry competition had a blank selection process to keep it fair.

Blank minded

People often feel like their minds and their bodies are in different places. Far from an exotic experience. Many times, people's minds seem to go “somewhere else” so attention becomes disconnected from perception, and people's minds wander to times and places removed from the current environment. At other times, however, people's minds may seem to go nowhere at all—they simply disappear
