Taking place during National Poetry Month in April, "Poetry Between the Lines" is an exhibition of large scale erasure poems by Holly Lyn Walrath. 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.

Walrath is a poet living in Houston. 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.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until May 13.
