Newspaper Blackout

Author(s): Austin Kleon

Poetry

Austin Kleon is a cartoonist and poet from Austin, Texas, who takes a page from an existing newspaper and blacks out words until he finds a new hidden meaning in the text. Hilarious and profound, silly and contemplative, the poems in this collection will provide readers with a sense of satisfaction and much-needed comic relief during these tough times.
