A poetry workshop for adults – create your own blackout/cut-up poetry out of photocopied pages from some of our books. All material provided! All levels of expertise welcome!

Blackout poetry:  blacking out the words on an established page of writing, to create a poem out of the remaining words.

Cut-up poetry: cutting out individual words from a text and arranging them into a poem.

Join us for an informal blackout and cut-up workshop at Clifton library, where we will use (photocopied!) pages from a variety of our books  to create fabulous, funny, moving and surreal new poems, just in time for World Poetry Day (21 March)!
