Blackout poetry is created by removing or "blacking out" existing text
to create a new piece of art. Make Blackout Poetry: Activist Edition
gives you a curated collection of political texts to deconstruct and
repurpose to make seventy-five pieces of your own blackout poetry.
Reshape the words of past politicians, activists, and lawmakers and
extract your own ideas from presidential speeches, acts of Congress,
Supreme Court opinions, and more. The selection of documents within the
book represent centuries of United States history and policy, covering
topics such as freedom of speech and expression, racial and gender
equality, immigration, foreign policy, and environmental protection. If
you're looking for a creative way to express yourself and what you stand
for, take a pen to this book and transform it page by page into your own
poetic manifesto.
