The Art of Prose Poetry Workshop with Craig Brandis | July 10 - Aug14 | Zoom

Have you been wondering how to make exciting poems that combine the best elements of poetry and prose? The secret to prose poetry lies in layering cadences within narrative verse. Let's focus on building layers of rhythm, emotional resonance and imagery within storytelling. We will then apply those lessons to your own poems.  Watch your poems start to blossom with new depth and vitality.  Reading list: poems from Carolyn Forché, Charles Baudelaire, Claudia Rankine, and other innovators in the form help light the way. Share your work in an environment of acceptance and exploration. Come join us! Give your poems fresh cadence and depth in a new form, merging the best of poetic and narrative traditions.

A Statement of Our Values

The Attic Institute of Arts and Letters opposes the legitimation of bigotry, hate, and misinformation. As a studio for writers, we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We embrace and celebrate our shared pursuit of literature and languages as essential to crossing the boundaries of difference. To that end, we seek to maintain a creative environment in which every employee, faculty member, and student feels safe, respected, and comfortable — even while acknowledging that poems, stories, and essays delve into uncomfortable subjects. We accept the workshop as a place to question ourselves and to empathize with complex identities. We understand that to know the world is to write the world. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to literary pursuits and shared understanding by affirming diversity and open inquiry.
