What is blackout poetry? Blackout poetry is when you take a written piece of text from a book, newspaper, or magazine and redact words, in order to come up with your own poetry. Kate Berry, local poet, will be here Wednesday, Oct. 4th between 10 am-2 pm to walk you through the process. Materials will be provided. Registration is appreciated but drop-ins are welcome.
