Flash Fiction and the Prose Poem
CREA1009 Explore your voice in this genre-bending
course open to all writers! The popular short-short story, also known as "flash
fiction", condenses narrative to its very essence in only one to four pages.
Prose poems are even shorter, and equally addictive, often surreal or
subversive, they make unexpected leaps. In this class, we consider each genre
separately and discuss the ways in which they overlap. We write our own prose
poems, short-short stories and learn techniques such as dialogue, plot, imagery
and lyricism. The ultimate goal is to enter a piece of flash fiction or a prose
poem in a national contest.
