Blackout poetry

I've wanted to do a blackout poem (words selected from a source that make a new work) for a while. To create one, you select words that catch your interest from another text, then black out the words you don’t want/need with a marker. Google “blackout poetry” for more definitions and some amazing examples. My blackout poem Test Result, about cancer risk, was published at Voidspace Zine. It was created using Blackout by Tristan Onek - Give it a try! You upload some text and it blacks out text randomly for you. You can keep generating new outputs until you find one that works for you.
