In this 6-week Zoom course, we will pair poetry and fiction readings by craft elements, then compare and contrast how the different disciplines approach that element. Class discussion will be co-led by a poet and a fiction writer. The course will also include generative writing exercises inspired by the class, which we'll gently workshop. The goal is an interactive deep dive into how poetry and fiction can talk to each other, and how each discipline can inspire and deepen the understanding of the other.
Instructors: Jody Hobbs Hesler and Aran Donovan
