POETRY AND FLASH FICTION

Go beyond the ode, the sestina, the typical story shape of exposition, rising action, and climax! Explore the use of found forms in both poetry and short prose to create tension, build atmosphere, and reveal surprising characters. Whether it's a poem in the form of a dictionary definition, a short story told through fake tweets, or a set of odd wanted ads, we'll both utilize and break these forms to craft weird, playful, and evocative writings.
