We all know great artists steal, and so do great poets! In this workshop, you will engage with great works of queer poetry by… cutting them up. Or maybe crossing out half of the words.

Cut-up poetry, blackout poetry, vocabularyclepts and centos are all examples of poetic forms that use already existing works as a springboard for new poems. Join Spotlight UvA to practice those forms of poetry with a collection of poems by queer poets as your inspiration. Poetry, pens, glue and additional sheets of paper will be provided, but we’d appreciate it if you brought your own scissors!
