Blackout Poems - Blackout Poems In July of 2021, I found myself needing to make a career change but struggling to figure out what to do next. We were in the thick of the pandemic lockdown (which one? - I don’t remember) and I was helping my young son navigate on-line schooling from home. So, I didn’t have a lot of time or undivided attention. I needed a project - a very small project - to get me moving again in a new direction. At the same time, I found the work of Austin Kleon and was instantly drawn in by his blackout poems and habits of daily making and sharing. With the limited time I had, and a lot of unused architectural and art tools, I gave it a try. Little by little this project opened up my creative wellspring again. For that I am eternally grateful! Though I still make blackout poems to share on social media from time to time, I’m working on other projects now too. Below are some of my favorite poems from this project. https://www.mandytew.com/photography daily 1.0 2026-01-16 https://www.mandytew.com/photography/blacksburg-on-film monthly 0.5 2025-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6137b239653d655103375839/177877c5-8dee-4e58-bc95-550c6d0b066e/0002_35A000093410002.jpg Photography -
