Do you enjoy both puzzles and poetry? Find a poem hiding within a page of non-poetry text. It could be your favorite writer, or a thriller you thrift, or a newspaper, or anything in between - just not already poetry. It's a puzzle to find words and phrases that speak to you and then edit them down into a poetic surprise by removing everything else in between. Then we'll explore various ways to turn the poem into visual art.
You will find and create "black-out" and/or "cut-up text" poetry (or some combination).

If you like to sketch out/plan ahead, bring 1-2 copies of your book pages. Bring the actual book (or book pages) if you plan to create directly onto original book pages. Newspapers are also great for cutting out lines to paste/collage into a poem (more like a cento poem).
