Celebrate Poetry Month at the Blackout Poetry Bash!
Students in grades 3-12 are invited to join us at the Barbara Bush Library on April 29th at 5pm for an exciting event where old text is transformed into art. Using pages from books/magazines/newspapers and markers, participants will create their own unique blackout poems by highlighting meaningful worlds and blacking out the rest. This engaging event is an amazing way to explore poetry, experiment with creativity, and connect with your community!
Supplies provided. Space is limited, so register today!
