Blackout Poetry with Denise Chapman

A blackout poem is like a sculpture. You begin with a slab and carve away parts until only the pieces you want remain. Working with words and a marker as your tools, you take existing text (say, a newspaper article), and black out sections and sentences until a new, original work emerges. Come join spoken word artist Denise Chapman to collaborate on a series of blackout poems across the day.
