Seminar Description
In this seminar, we consider what can fit on one page, breaking down and opening up our understanding of poems and flash stories. We will first focus on reading and analyzing published work, and then generate our own writing. Our process will include sharing and revising our “shorts” along the way.
Four sessions. Registration – $170
