Blackout Poetry

Austin Kleon is an artist and writer who came up with a very unique form of poetry, Newspaper Blackout. He takes a newspaper article, redacts some words and phrases, and voila! Poetry. So I tried to do a version of my own, using Mercutio's "Queen Mab" speech from Romeo and Juliet.

    I heard about this method before, but I didn't really see it.

  2. Thanks!! Isn't a cool style? It's fun and easy to do and you don't have to be a poet to do it :)
