guys the number one method to make blackout poetry is to have a printed chunk of text of your choice and a ballpoint pen, and then you just go to town. then of course there’s like. looking for the first or last half of words that exist, centering around a word you like and would like to use, that kinda thing. but really its just about going ham on some text. bonus points if its a text you feel strongly about, whether positively or negatively. bc then you can deliver or elaborate on the message or even the opposite of the message being conveyed by the original text.

Blackout poetry exists on a dual axis from "banal" to "insightful" on the input side and "kind of deep" to "incredibly fucking dumb" on the output side, and while taking something banal and producing something kind of deep is well and fine, for my money taking something insightful and rendering it incredibly fucking dumb is where the real art is.
