Box, Building, Obituary: Exploring Prose Poetry
Scott-Patrick Mitchell
Saturday 8th October 12–1.30pm
Prose poetry is a unique poetic form that subverts the expectations of enjambed poetry and creates a space that allows for greater play of association, memory and elastic temporality. The prose poem can be a box, full of keepsakes and hidden desires. It can be a room inside a building, bustling with life, brimming with intersecting narratives. It can also take on the form of an obituary, celebrating those who once were.
In this workshop, participants will explore various approaches to prose poetry along with the work of a variety of poets, including Cassandra Atherton, Gertrude Stein and Victoria Chang.
This event takes place on Whadjuk Noongar Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge that this is, was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
