Blackout Poetry was held on 30/07/2022
In literature, Blackout poetry is also known as erasure poetry, redacted poetry and a form of found poetry.
Earliest the examples of the Blackout Poetry hail form, Caleb White ford, would publish redacted versions of the paper, using puns flowing across the text to create new meaning in the pages. This creative play with physical text would not resurface until the Dada Movement (1915-1925) in which artists expressed surreal, absurd and existential thoughts through the interplay of words and images. This interplay, commonly known as Collaging, reignited a love for the physical play with language, encouraging poets to experiment with form & language simultaneously.
