PROSE POETRY & THE ART OF EDITING

a fundamental course in balance, density, and composition

Weekly Class/Register

HERE YOU WILL:

  • develop the compositional skills required for longer pieces of work: focus, unity, and inner structure

  • discover what it takes to bring a piece to completion

  • become an insightful editor of your own work

IN ADDITION YOU WILL:

  • deepen & amplify your art of languaging training so that it irrevocably takes root

  • explore the music and rhythm of prose by understanding the poetry of the sentence

  • learn the essence of structure through prose poetry (form) and autobiography (content)
IN THE END YOU WILL:
  • self-publish a chapbook (sold on consignment at City Lights Bookstore)

  • participate in a public reading at Modern Times Bookstore

  • be amazed at how far youv'e come

When you graduate from RF I and RF II, the two fundamental courses at RIPE FRUIT, you will have the foundation to move with confidence into any writing form: short story, creative non-fiction, poetry, playwriting, memoir, provocative emails, love letters...

Regardless of your experience level coming into these two courses (beginning or advanced), you will grow to a maturity level you hadn't imagined was possible. Quality in writing and editing will be second nature to you now, something you will recognize both as a writer and as a reader of books. You can never lose this. You'll be able to go anywhere...and write with strength, originality, and emotional power.

Prerequisite: Ripe Fruit I class or writing experience is required.
