12 PM EST

90 minutes via Zoom

Learn to write, revise, and publish your prose poems. In this workshop, we will go through the brief history of the prose poem and discuss successful prose poets like Robert Hass, Luke Kennard, Ray Gonzáles, C.D. Wright, Carolyn Forché, Richard Garcia, Lydia Davis, Russell Edson, Claudia Rankine, and Mary Ruefle. We will also close-read a couple of prose poems together. After that, we will engage in some generative exercises to develop our own prose poem during the workshop. There will be an opportunity for live instructor and peer feedback.

After the workshop, I am happy to provide another round of editorial feedback on your complete prose poem.
