Black Out & Patchwork Poetry

In this week’s Poetry Club we discussed Black Out and Patchwork Poems. The poems we read together were “How to be a Ghost on Earth” and “Nopal En El Frente” by Karla Cordero. We talked about the Author’s use of blacking out another Authors work and how she uses patchwork poetry in her poems. Poets were new to both these concepts and even though they were intrigued and also confused by the style, they were open to the blacking out exercise and were quick in writing their own patchwork poem.
