All of Us Poetry Workshop - Blackout Poetry

Join Joe Spivey, Oliver Clifford, and our lovely attendees to explore poetry techniques and forms in a supportive environment.

This session we'll:

- Explore Blackout poetry as a form and practice: how could we use it when suffering from writer's block?

- Respond to a writing exercise designed to reflect the core tenets of Blackout poetry (thinking about how to find a poetic voice and striking form - pun intended - in any text).

- End with an opportunity for one or two attendees to share a poem for feedback (the feedback is optional! Please be mindful to only bring one poem due to time restraints and supporting everyone else present)
