Today, you are Michaelangelo—a literary sculptor. Your prose paragraph is your raw block of marble; your job is to chip away the excess to reveal the poem within. Through prompted exercise we’ll practice craft principles such as compression and lineation to distill a prose excerpt into its poetic essence, then ask for volunteers to share their work. Plan to visit OCWW at the Vendor & Org Expo from 3-6PM at the Hotel Verdant. Workshop info and a select group of booksellers will be on hand to represent the merry band.
