Seek and Hide

Blackout Poetry, the art of removing words from written material to find a poem hidden inside, is an immersive and innovative way to create visual poetry while playing around in your favorite books.



Follow 3x Bram Stoker & Elgin Award nominated poet, Jessica McHugh as she guides you through lessons, assignments, and never-before-seen blackout poems to break down the process of this art form. Learn how to find the ghostly poem in MacBeth, how editing can make a Dracula piece more biting, and how a thoughtful blackout design can expose the varied nightmares in the dream worlds of The Enchanted Castle and more! With step-by-step examples and practice pages, this educational and interactive work book is ready for your pencils, pens, and sparkle markers.
