Grab & Go Craft Kits for Adults
Kits available beginning Friday, April 4.
April is National Poetry Month and the perfect time to explore the power of words and language. But if you are struggling to find the right words, why not use some-one else’s?
Blackout poetry is when you take a written piece of text from a book, newspaper, or magazine and redact words, in order to come up with your very own poetry. Your kit includes pages from Pride and Prejudice plus a black permanent marker. To create your poems, feel free to use them, pages from your own books, articles cut from newspapers, or anything else you have lying around your home. Creating a blackout poem involves steps that are all about deconstruction, then reconstruction. Your poem can be artistic, simple, serious, or nonsensical.
All of the words are already there on the page, so let the randomness be part of the fun.
