http://austinkleon.com/category/newspaper-blackout-poems/ A while back, the folks at Wired asked me to make some blackouts from their recent design issue . I thought I’d play around with the whole “maker” movement, and went hunting in the magazine for all the instances of “make” and “maker” in the text. The blackout process is tricky — often, the more I try to intentionally “do” something with it, the less spectacular the results. Like most poetry and art, the blackouts aren’t really editorials, either — so much of what they say is what the reader brings to them, or what title or captions they’re given, or what context they’re put in. In the end, nothing really came of these two pieces, so I’m posting them here.
