This image shows a blackout poetry piece created on a page of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. The page has been left mostly uncovered, with various clippings collaged across the margins and text. Select words and phrases have been left uncovered by the collage and highlighted in orange, creating a new poetic message against the original text.
