| Description | About the prose poem, poet Campbell McGrath asks, "Do the formal fields end where the valley begins, or does everything that surrounds us emerge from its embrace?" We explore this well-established (yet liminal) form in workshop. Assignments include weekly readings and responses to published and peer work, imitations, and writing exercises. Each workshop member is required to maintain a course journal and to complete one formal presentation of the work of a published (prose) poet. Limited to 16 students, this course is suitable for (poets or fiction) writers who have taken at least one 200-level creative writing workshop. Prerequisite: One college-level poetry or creative writing workshop. |
