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.

Led by Maine author and poet, Sylvia Bourgoin.

Open to the public ages 12+. Public sign up at https://www.dempseycenter.org/services/classes-workshops/public/.
