Become a Blackout Poet at Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again!

Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again

<p>Have you ever been interested in writing poetry but don’t know where to start? If you struggle to find the right words, why not start with Seamus Heaney’s? Blackout poetry, sometimes known as erasure poetry, allows you to start with an already existing poem and, through erasure, gradually narrow down the text to the words that speak to you, finding your own poem inside the text. It is a fun way to experiment with poetry and to tackle the dreaded fear of the blank page!</p><p>For our final Blackout Poetry Workshop of the year, we will be drawing from Heaney's more festive poetry. Join us at Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again to learn the basics of Blackout poetry and have a go at creating your own works, using Seamus Heaney’s works as a springboard.</p>
