Blackout Poetry Workshop for teens 12+
About
Join Barrovian writer and performance poet Caleb Staps for a captivating and fun Blackout Poetry Workshop inviting you to write in new ways.With permanent markers in hand, you’ll be delving into Barrow's past, turning old newspapers, magazines and other print materials into artful short form poetry.
Come and play with words!
Discover amazing old stories from our town and create your own to leave behind. This workshop will be in a fun, supported and relaxed environment.
Blackout poetry uses a technique of crossing out, circling, and drawing on pieces of text creating short tales with the words left behind. Bestselling Author, Austin Kleon, describes blackout poetry as 'sort of like if the CIA did haiku'.
Caleb is a Barrovian writer, performance poet and workshop facilitator. His work explores themes of youth, modern life and growing up in a small town where not much seems to happen.
He performs at poetry nights across the North, features in zines, BBC Upload & Radio Cumbria.
