CRWR 213 - The Prose Poem

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
The prose poem–with prose looks and poetic sensibilities–is a form born of rebellion and experimentation at the crossroads of two genres. We will study the prose poem’s origins, history, and contemporary practice in order to understand how narrative, poetics, and syntax function in this form. To develop our craft sensibilities, we will read and discuss prose poems across time, cultures, and aesthetics. We will produce our own creative work in the genre.
