MPLS: Exploring the Narrative Poem

  • American School of Storytelling 1762 Hennepin Avenue South Minneapolis, MN, 55403 United States (map)

Is it a Story or is it a Poem? Is there a boundary between them?
In this workshop, we will consider length, density, and audience. And how the audience changes how a story is told.
A poem isn’t a story, but a narrative poem is. We will write our stories and tell them to each other, finding and focusing on the images that make and move the story.
The flow of images is the river we are floating down.
Give your story wings.
