F259. When Genres Collide: Teaching Prose Poetry and Flash Fiction

Room LL4, Western New England MFA Annex, Lower Level
Friday, February 28, 2014
3:00 pm to 4:15 pm

 

The collision of prose poetry and flash fiction can provide productive and challenging points of discussion and inspiration in the multi-genre classroom. What can prose poetry teach flash fiction? How can theories of narrative inform understandings of prose poetry? Join our panel of writer-teachers for a discussion about how to navigate the sometimes blurry boundary between prose poetry and flash fiction in the undergraduate classroom.
