Blackout Poetry
April 14, 2026 at Oakland Public Library: Rockridge Branch in Oakland, CA
Using pages from old books, magazines and newspapers, lellobird will show us how to block out text to leave selected words behind to create a poem. Weâll look at examples from other artists/poets, talk about how to choose words and explore several different techniques and styles for covering up the unused words. Youâll create a piece of personalized art you can display or add to a scrapbook or journal!
