I made my first blackout poem five years ago. What a ride.
To celebrate, I thought I’d post 10 of my favorite poems from 2009-2010. (Minus everything in Newspaper Blackout — you can also browse the “Greatest Hits” from 2006-2008)

Austin, congrats on five years of poem making! Of these 10, my favorites are “His Beard” and “What Is Marriage.” My all-time favorites thus far continue to be “There is nothing like that first book…” and “I am looking to write something…” (I’m not sure what their titles are.) Bravo, my friend!
Congrats buddy!
Congratulations!! These are fantastic–I love the highlighter and open road image…
Thanks, y’all! :)
