Exploring the Intersection of Writing Poetry and Flash Fiction

In this OnDemand webinar, we will discuss the complicated line between writing poetry and flash fiction, identifying approaches for crafting work that seems to straddle, blur, or challenge this genre distinction. We will talk about quick pivots, immersive concrete detail, and compact storytelling, considering how we can listen to our writing and follow its lead to a particular genre. Revision—including the potential transformation of a poem into a flash, and vice versa—will be part of the conversation, and there will a pre-recorded Q&A to further explore this topic.
