When?

Event
A blackout poem created from a typewritten text. Most of the text is covered with black lines, leaving visible phrases that read: “Black walnuts hitting a barn roof / Fairly rapped the morning. / Massachusetts, / Autumn. Orioles and pumpkins. / And the crack of those round shells / Like a hardwood mallet hammering a wedge / Into the moment, splitting it ever open.” The background is a light beige color, and the remaining words form a poem evoking the sounds and imagery of autumn.
