Program Description

Event Details

April is National Poetry Month. Join us to create blackout poetry, a fun and easy way to make poetry and art while upcycling old book pages.

With blackout poetry, you take an already existing page of text and cross out all the words you don’t want to keep in your poem. You can cross them out with straight lines, squiggles, or anything you like to create a unique mix between poetry and art. All supplies provided.

Like all our teen events, this is free, open to residents of any town in Grades 6-12, and sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library. Registration is required so we can save your spot!
