Carried Away: Blackout Poetry and Art

By Stacia Leigh

"Let your imagination get carried away..."

When the creative mood strikes, I'm ready. Out and about with my blackout poetry kit means instant access to an array of colored pencils, markers, a compass and ruler, a pencil sharpener, some book pages...

Even with art tools spread out in front of me, I often don't know where to start. How many different ways can a page be filled? Where did my inspiration go?

Sometimes all it takes is one little spark to stoke artistic energy and may come in the form of daily prompts, weekly challenges, or even playing a game of blackout BINGO. It begins the process of exploring materials, parameters, layouts, colors, mood, a subject, or pet- peeves and personal favorites. Having a problem or task to solve lights the fire, providing boundaries to push against, an opportunity to see things differently, an idea for a first step. Take it And get carried away...

Carried Away is a compilation of blackout poems and whimsical art inspired by simple, one-word prompts.
