Adult Drop-in Studio: Blackout Poetry

Wednesday, April 11, 2018

Text and Art? Blackout poetry (or erasure poetry) is when a poet takes a marker to already established text –like in a vintage book– and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. Join us as we make black out poems and create visual art in the negative space between the words.
