Blackout Poetry is a unique and rare form of poetry in which you tear a page from a book, though it may bring a tear to the eye. And forgive the pun "Black out" the whole page but only nearly. Before coloring the page you look for key words or phrases and together with what you've collected you make a poem. This idea cme to Rythian from his mentor who prodded and pushed him to become at least decent at the art. This book is dedicated to his mentor and close friend who continues to work with him.

A classic poem with a timeless message, presented in a small and beautiful gift book. Rose Milligan never intended to publicly share her poem 'Dust If You Must', but a series of events led her to publish it in The Lady magazine in 1998. Her charming message about what we value in life resonated with audiences, and it has since been read on BBC radio, posted on Instagram, printed on tea towels, read at funerals and put to music. Now appearing as a book for the first time, beautifully illustrated throughout by illustrator Hayley Wells, Dust If You Must is a timeless reminder to focus on the things we can enjoy in the world, rather than the things we think we need to do.

An exquisite art book of gentle and elegant found poetry.
