The Prose Poem
Workshop
with Kristina Marie Darling
Date: Sunday March 19
Venue: Jura Building, Webster University
This workshop will focus exclusively on the prose poem, meaning prose that draws from the extensive tradition, formal repertoire and literary devices that readers associate with poetry. We will discuss individual poems by workshop participants, as well as strategies for structuring longer literary works that incorporate prose poems, considering ways of using prose poetry to compliment (and complicate) other works within the sequence, chapbook, or book manuscript.
