Found Poetry/Prose Swap - Due October 28, 2022
For this swap we will all become poetry FINDERS, composing our poetry/prose out of text that already exists.
There are two types of found poetry and either is perfect for this swap:
1.Collage poetry - poetry made from words or short phrases cut from various sources and recombined into something new.

2. Blackout poetry - poetry found within one piece of text— framed by highlighting certain words or short phrases, or blacking out / covering the surrounding text.
