What is narrative verse? And how can an understanding of its unique technical and aesthetic properties enhance not only your poetry but your writing overall? In this 2-hour workshop, learn how to harness concentrated syntax, lineation, rhythm, sonics, imagery, figurative language and poetic economy to inject poetry – in its myriad forms – into your stories. |
