Reading Between the Lines: Blackout Poetry at the Library In-Person

Sources for poetry are all around us: newspaper articles, scientific and law journals, junk mail.... Explore found poetry through the blackout process in this drop-in session. No previous writing experience is necessary!

All health sciences students, faculty, and staff are welcome. This informal hands-on session is with a facilitator from the Center for Creativity but will mostly be self-directed or could work in a group. All materials will be provided.

Falk Library is on the mezzanine (M) level of Alan Magee Scaife Hall - two floors below the Panera location. Check out our Directions page to find the library.

This event is being offered in conjunction with Make Your Own Trail Mix: Valentine's Day Edition at Falk Library. Blackout poetry and Valentine’s Day treats—now that’s a love language we can all get behind. Stop by, get creative, and enjoy something sweet.
