Blackout

Deadline

Try your hand at blackout poetry by finding an old, unused book or discarded newspaper or magazine and scouring it for meaningful words or short phrases that can be pieced together to make up a new poem. Use a black marker to redact the remaining words around them. See Geri’s example for a creative take. (youngwritersproject.org/explore/visual-art/blackout-poetry) ["Blackout Poetry" by Geri, YWP]
