Blackout Poetry Workshop with This Art Sux at Black Rock Books

Black Rock Books 3030 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport

Blackout Poetry is a type of found poetry in which an artist uses a pre-existing text to create something entirely new. Blackout Poems vary greatly in length, tone, and content. This discipline is great for those who love word puzzles! In this workshop led by Paul Orsino, participants will receive an introduction to the process of creating blackout poetry and create their own poems. All materials provided. Paul Orsino is a Blackout Poet, Artist, and Writer from Fairfield, CT. His creative journey was born out of introspection and mindfulness. Branding his work as This Art Sux, he lives by the philosophy that creativity is essential to happiness, no matter how good or bad the end result is.   For more information
