About

Flex your creativity in this mashup of visual and literary arts. Blackout or Erasure Poetry is a form of found poetry where the creator removes words from texts like newspaper clippings or old book pages to create something new. Some creators simply black out the words they do not need, while others create drawings around them and make them illegible in other ways, leaving behind a few choice words to create a poem, and a visual art piece to go along with it. What will you create?
