CPG Mini zine : Found or Blackout poetry - Global

Time to dig into those magazine or book pages you've been hoarding. Give a quick prayer to the muses, grab a pair of scissors or your favourite marker and get creative. Poetry is dissected in a lot of elements : rhythm, meter, metrical patterns, rhyming schemes, lines and stanzas, visual representation. Poetry comes in a lot of forms, in a lot of genres, but found and blackout poetry give new meanings to the written word. Find your voice, rearrange your words : speak to us in your very own poetry.

Zine requirements

• You will send two (2) zines to one (1) partner. One must be in the theme, the other is the sender's choice. These can be all new zines or something you've made previously.
• A zine is a fantastic little booklet made by you, using a single sheet of folded paper ! For more information, check out How to make a one-sheet zine For inspiration, refer to the excellent 51 Ideas for Your First/Next Zine and 51 (More) Ideas for Your First/Next Zine.

Other requirements
