Austin Kleon is a cartoonist and poet from Austin, Texas, who takes a page from an existing newspaper and blacks out words until he finds a new hidden meaning in the text. Hilarious and profound, silly and contemplative, the poems in this collection will provide readers with a sense of satisfaction and much-needed comic relief during these tough times.
Austin Kleon is the New York Times bestselling author of three illustrated books: Newspaper Blackout, Steal Like An Artist, and Show Your Work! His latest release is The Steal Like An Artist Journal: A Notebook For Creative Kleptomaniacs. His work has been translated into over twenty languages and featured on NPR's Morning Edition, PBS Newshour, and in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. New York Magazine called his work "brilliant," The Atlantic called him "positively one of the most interesting people on the Internet," and The New Yorker said his poems "resurrect the newspaper when everybody else is declaring it dead." He speaks about creativity in the digital age for organizations such as Pixar, Google, SXSW, TEDx, and The Economist. He grew up in the cornfields of Ohio, but now he lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and sons. Visit him online at www.austinkleon.com
