This one might be a bit hard to read but giving credit to the original creator: Terra Nostra – Carlos Fuentes
A blackout poem is when a poet takes a marker (usually black marker) to already established text—like in a newspaper—and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. The key thing with a blackout poem is that the text AND redacted text form a sort of visual poem.

But good one. I’ve seen blackout poems before and it must be very interesting process.

It definitely is a bit creepy, but I like it. I think that the choices you have to make while redacting require a lot of thought and also teach you something about the rhythm of the original writing.
