We usually think of fiction as the realm of story and poetry as the realm of lyrical meditation, but poems can also tell stories. We all have memories of stuff that happened. In this one-day workshop, we will read narrative poems by established poets, then discuss how they bring various events to life in a relatively short amount of space and time. After this, we will use prompts to write drafts our own narrative poems. This workshop will offer useful insights to both poets and fiction writers. 

Please note: The class will meet from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, November 4, with an hour break for lunch at 12:30 p.m.
