About the workshop Turn old books, magazines, and newspapers into surprising works of poetry art! In this hands-on creative workshop, participants will discover how to find hidden poems within existing texts using two playful techniques: Blackout Poetry and Cut-Up Poetry.

No writing experience is needed—just curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to play with words.

What will I learn? We’ll explore how writers and artists transform ordinary words into something unexpected, then create our own unique poems by selecting, rearranging, and highlighting words and phrases.
