Blackout Poetry Join us for this limited series spanning into the new year as we learn about and make our very own blackout poetry. Blackout poetry is a form of found poetry created by erasing words from an existing text and framing the result on the same page as a poem. But it’s easier than you think! By candlelight, we'll riffle through old books, magazines, and other found artifacts to find just the right starting place for a poem. And for those interested participants, we'll be assembling a blackout poetry exhibition — culminating in April for National Poetry Month! Pizza will be provided! Post Falls | November 19, 5:00pm - 6:30pm
