Description
Prose poetry is poetry written in one or two paragraph form. It may be an impression, a description, a memory or a scene. Almost anything goes! Flash fiction is similar, but tells a story, in less than one page. In class, you’ll read different kinds of prose poems and flash fiction, and then in the following week, share your own attempts, with supportive feedback. You don’t have to be a poet or fiction writer— you just need to want to express yourself through writing.
