About the Event

In this studio we will consider cross-genre techniques that combine poetry and creative nonfiction. Lyric essays, prose poems, collages and more create unique forms that fuse the music of poetry with the everyday. Learn what these forms are and how to write them with us!

Explore the blended art of creative non-fiction and poetry through a haibun, a hybrid form of the two genres originating from Japan. Learn how to combine the haiku form and narrative prose form to write a haibun. Exploring this form can help you express a topic from a unique angle.
