Join Barrovian writer and performance poet Caleb Staps for a captivating and fun Blackout Poetry Workshop inviting you to write in new ways.

Blackout poetry uses a technique of crossing out, circling, and drawing on pieces of text, creating short tales with the words left behind. With permanent markers in hand, you’ll be delving into Barrow’s past, turning old newspapers, magazines, and other print materials into artful short form poetry.

Discover amazing old stories from the town and create your own to leave behind. This workshop will be in a fun, supported and relaxed environment. So come and play with words!
