SUMMARY:Connect + Experience: Blackout Poetry [Lewiston]
DESCRIPTION:Blackout poetry is a creative writing practice where participants transform existing text\, often from old books\, into poetry by selecting meaningful words and obscuring the rest. This reflective\, low-pressure art form encourages mindfulness\, emotional expression\, and a sense of control\, offering a calming space for processing difficult experiences and finding unexpected moments of connection and creativity. We invite you to join us for a relaxing cup of tea while you learn something new and easy. No experience necessary.\n \nLed by Maine author and poet\, Sylvia Bourgoin.\n\nOpen to the public ages 12+. Public sign up at https://www.dempseycenter.org/services/classes-workshops/public/.
