Steal Like An Artist: The Book
NEWSPAPER BLACKOUT POEMS

ANYTHING GOES

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

anything goes in America / the rules / not really rules / but a kind of guesswork

Page 90 of Newspaper Blackout. Blogged by The New Yorker.

And a great tale from Heather Brush, the books page editor at the Roanoke Times (she reviewed NB):

There’s a funny story behind my review…the book was sitting on my desk here in the newsroom, waiting for me to finish it and review it, when it disappeared. Someone swiped it! I put up “wanted” posters and mysteriously it was returned in the dark of night. Apparently, news people are very interested in this book!

A book worth stealing — that’s what I like to hear! Thanks, Heather.

Two other great reviews from The Christian Science Monitor and The Austin American-Statesman.

Also: over 500 people now follow the Newspaper Blackout Tumblr where folks post their own blackout poems. Check it out.
