Event Description: Sip + Create: National Poetry Month Blackout Poetry
A themed art night for creatives.
In celebration of National Poetry Month, learn how to create your own blackout poetry. Play with words and art by erasing words on the page to form a poem. Explore the history of blackout poetry and learn how it defies genre, questions texts and sources, and provides ample play room for writers looking for inspiration.
