NEWSPAPER BLACKOUT POEMSNEWSPAPER BLACKOUT POEMS FEATURED ON NPR’S MORNING EDITION
Friday, May 9th, 2008
Today the poems were featured on NPR’s Morning Edition:
Read Between the Lines to Find Texas Poet’s Verse
Morning Edition, May 9, 2008Instead of starting with a blank page, poet Austin Kleon grabs the New York Times and a permanent marker — and eliminates the words he doesn’t need. He recently transformed an article about a piano concert into a poem that begins: “Forget about trying to speak … the image is the travelogue.” The newspaper ends up more black than white, and shows another way to read between the lines.
My wife and I are huge NPR junkies, so this was quite a Friday treat. Welcome to new visitors, and thanks again to everyone who’s spread the word about them! You guys are awesome.
PS. Did this one on the bus this morning.
