Join us for a creative blackout poetry workshop where we transform the language of science into something new! We will use pages from science textbooks as our canvas, and we will black out and uncover hidden poems from facts, formulas, and figures.
No experience needed. All materials provided.
Blackout poetry not your thing? Join us for our usual open mic, all poems and levels of experience welcome.
