Atelier Blackout Poetry Workshop

Celebrate National Poetry Month by learning how to create your own Blackout Poetry!  

Blackout Poetry is a form of “found poetry” that involves taking pre-existing texts and emphasizing certain words to create a new poem and often adding designs or drawings in line with the theme of the newfound poem.  

Open to adults and teens, writers of all experience are welcome. All supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring used books, markers, and drawing materials of your own! 

Célébrez le Mois nationale de la poésie en apprenant à créer vos propres poèmes Blackout !  

La poésie « Blackout » est une forme de « poésie trouvée » qui est créé en utilisant une page d’un texte écrit par quelqu’un d’autre, et mettant en surbrillance ou sélectionnant certains mots afin de créer un nouveau poème, souvent en ajoutant des dessins selon le thème du nouveau poème.  

Ouvert aux adultes et aux adolescents, les écrivains de tous niveaux d'expérience sont les bienvenus. Tout le matériel sera fourni, mais n’hésitez pas à apporter vor propres livres d’occasion et/ou matériaux de dessin !  

Event Moderation & Tips

Event Moderation & Troubleshooting Tips

1. New Events Not Appearing in Search

We’ve seen an increase in cases where newly created events do not appear in the Events search. If this happens, please try the following:

  • Re-save the event’s schedule. This is especially important for events with single schedule entries, which may not index correctly on first save.

Re-saving triggers a refresh of the event data and usually resolves the issue.

2. Reminder: Moderation Process for Edited Events

Please remember that when an existing event is edited:

  • Any update places the event back into moderation.
  • A moderator must review and approve the changes before they become publicly visible.

If your updates don’t appear right away, the event is likely still awaiting moderation.
