Erasure & Nature Writing with Erin Dorney

The 2022 KAWF celebrates writing in all of its forms

Including erasure, visual poetry, and collage...

• In erasure poetry, also known as blackout poetry, the poet takes an existing text and erases, blacks out, or obscures a large portion of the text, creating a wholly new work from what remains. (from Poets.org)

Learn to make a poem without writing a single word! Using nature texts and found objects, Visiting Writer Erin Dorney will guide participants through the process of making an erasure poem. All materials provided—with your permission, we'll share a photo of your poem on ACW's Instagram.

• Saturday, August 20, 1-3 PM
• ArtRise: 62 Main Street, Saranac Lake 
• Free (Registration for Kickass Writers Festival suggested)
