Focus 2061 - Workshop: Readers as Writers

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

In the spring Readers as Writers workshop, we move from the consideration and creation of poetry to the consideration and creation of prose. As a transition between the two genres, we begin by reading and writing the prose poem, a hybrid form that borrows from and is influenced by both genres. We move from there toward a progressive lengthening of line and narrative as we read and write flash fiction, short stories, personal essay, and memoir. Guiding texts include, but are not limited to, those being studied in Writers as Readers, which must be taken concurrently.
