Poetry Between the Lines

Taking place during National Poetry Month in April, Poetry Between the Lines is an exhibition of large- scale erasure poems. Erasure or blackout poetry is a type of found poetry created by taking an existing text and “erasing” or blacking out words on the page. The remaining words form a poem. Using a variety of books, Walrath’s visual poem-paintings explore the use of line in art, architecture, design, and poetry.

Holly Lyn Walrath is a poet living in Houston, Texas. She is the author of several books of poetry including Glimmerglass Girl (2018), The Smallest of Bones (2021), and Numinous Stones (2023).  She holds a B.A. in English from The University of Texas and a Master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Denver.

The exhibition will take place in the newly christened East Corridor Gallery, at Sabine Street Studios. The opening reception will take place on April 8, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm after Second Saturday.
