About the Offering
Write at the intersection of prose and poetry in this workshop devoted to the imaginative and innovative possibilities in writing poetry without line breaks. We will look at a historical range of prose and poetry that model elements of story, structure, music, and imagination. Discover the differences between a prose poem and flash prose. We will generate new work that tries to balance these elements. How would your work change if you never broke the line? Let’s find out together.
