What is Blackout Poetry?

Miss Erin Ricciardi will be your instructor and guide you through this fun and thoughtful activity that will leave you with something beautiful enough to frame!


From writers.com:

Chances are, you have already seen blackout poetry in action: maybe it’s shown up on your social media timeline, or maybe you’ve read The New York Times’ Searching for Poetry series. Blackout poetry pages are easy to create, share, and celebrate, so it’s no wonder that their prominence coincided with the rise of social media.

Blackout poetry—also known as erasure poetry, redacted poetry, and a form of found poetry can be short or long, abstract or concrete, linear or lateral. There’s only one rule of the form: have fun making it!

Well-crafted blackout poetry pages give new meanings to old texts, and the interplay of those texts often creates new and surprising meanings.
