Saturday 8 December 2018, 10.00AM to 4.30pm
What does it mean to break a poem into lines, and why do authors of prose poems choose not to do this? What is the relationship of prose poetry to free verse, and the difference between a prose poem and a very short story? During the day we will briefly explore the history of the form, consider contemporary writers such as Luke Kennard, Claudia Rankine, Maggie Nelson and Matthew Sweeney, then have a go at writing some prose poems ourselves.
