Black Out Poetry at the Journalism Library

Now through the month of April.

The Journalism Library is celebrating National Poetry Month by putting on a Black-Out Poetry station the entire month of April. Folks can come and construct original poetry out of newspaper and magazine clippings gathered by the library staff.

Blackout poetry is created by marking out words from a text, like a newspaper, until a poem is created from the words that remain. For inspiration, check out others’ creations at Newspaper Blackout.

Everyone is welcome!
