So excited about teaching this four week evening course in November on writing prose poetry, with Women on Writing. We will be looking at the history of prose poetry, reading and discussing prose poems, writing prose poems, and talking about submissions and publishing. This foundation course is excellent for those who want a solid introduction to prose poetry. It is also a great review with lots of inspiration for those already writing a lot of prose poems.

"Prose poetry is the black sheep of the poetry world, with many saying it is an oxymoron or that it doesn’t exist at all. This is no surprise, as its rise was an act of rebellion against the restrictions of formal poetry. Many writers find it liberating to create. Others are surprised at how writing poetry in the prose form improves their writing in general. In this class, we will read, write, submit, and explore prose poetry, briefly looking at its history, its greats, resources, and starting or continuing our own writing practice."
