In this workshop, we'll investigate a variety of attempts at what I call "the poet's essay" -- a work of lyrical creative nonfiction that exists in the boundary between the two genres. We will read various examples as a group, discussing the different narrative and lyrical techniques at play in each one. These discussions will be punctuated by a series of short generative prompts, with the option to share your work or not. The goal of this workshop is to expand your understanding of what poetic nonfiction can resemble and accomplish, and to leave the session with a few 'starts' of your own. Open to writers of all levels, genres, and abilities. See litfuse.us for more info and to register.
