A Mountain Writers Writing Workshop What can we find in the poet's toolbox that will make our prose writing shine with images and sing with the sounds of the words? Whether we are writing memoir, creative nonfiction, or a piece of fiction, we can look beyond plot and character, dialogue and setting, to the language itself for the reading pleasure that need not be limited to poems. Virginia Woolf said, "All writing is nothing but putting words on the backs of rhythm"; and William Carlos Williams said, "No ideas but in things." We'll look at prose example that echo these and other poetric principles. You may find yourself writing prose or poetry -- or wondering which is which. For cost and registration, click here.
