Austin Kleon has decided that it's not hardcore enough to participate in National Poetry Month - he had to create competition. (Inter)national Newspaper Blackout Poetry Month challenges participants (read: Austin Kleon) to create poems by strategically covering up parts of newspaper articles. It's gimmicky, but the some of the results are genuinely beautiful.
Austin's writing one poem a day until the end of April on his blog.
