Prose Poetry and The Power of Place, led by Natalie Disney. This workshop is part of the 2025 To Taste Life Twice Seminar.
This workshop will explore the power of grounding your work in place, not just as a setting or backdrop, but as the actual firestarter for storytelling. Led by Natalie Disney, this workshop will explore how to create powerful prose poetry that grounds and electrifies your reader, whether you are writing from your window at home or gazing out a train in Thailand. These tools and tricks have staying power and will be used throughout your writing life.
