14 May Sweating the Small Stuff: Writing the Narrative Poem
With Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
The narrative poem is one of literature’s oldest forms, but in this class, we make the practice new. We’ll take some of what lyric poems do best—play with sensory images, descriptive language, and repetition—and apply these tools to storytelling. This fun hybrid form allows for play and invites us to re-see and retell the familiar in a fresh way.
