Found poetry is a poem that takes an original piece of text and changes it in some poetic way. Erasure is a type of found poetry that blocks out some of the original words to make the remaining words into a poem. Explore different ways poets have discovered to remake meaning out of existing text and then create some of your own. Whether you're a seasoned poet or simply curious about the craft, join us to unleash your creativity!

Christina M. Rau, The Yoga Poet, leads Meditate, Move, & Create workshops for various organizations. Her collections include How We Make Amends, What We Do To Make Us Whole, and the Elgin-Award winning Liberating The Astronauts.
