About
Repurpose the pages of old books and newspapers by transforming them into poetic works of art! A blackout poem is when a poet takes a marker (usually black marker) to already established text (like in a newspaper) and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. The neat thing with a blackout poem is that the text AND redacted text form a sort of visual poem.
