Blackout & Collage Poetry Social Craft

April 21 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

(moved to Pullen Room, second floor, across from stairs) 

In Celebration of National Poetry Month! Turn an existing page of text into a brand new poem! Blackout poetry (also called erasure poetry) is beginner-friendly and surprisingly fun — simply black out the words you don’t need and let the hidden poem appear. We’ll provide guidance, examples, and all the supplies you need. Want to make it personal? Bring a copy of something you’d like to give new meaning — a rejection letter, a news article, you name it. Come create, unwind, and celebrate National Poetry Month with us! For adults, but ages 14+ welcome. Registration required to account for supplies and space – call 570-421-0800 ext. 317. Registration opens Monday, March 30th.
