So all, looks like all of us will be in J. Osherow's poetry workshop. I've talked to her and she is ecstatic, and so excited to have us and have us participate.

Anyway
We have been talking a bit about the poet Cole Swensen, and about flash fiction so here is a flash fiction piece by Cole Swensen.

Also there is a Swensen Essay entitled "Poetry City" in which she delineates how poetry is like a city (making prose like the country). It deals with several poetic techniques, juxtaposition, collage, etc, in a very clear way. And how both the poem and the city are organized around the idea of Labyrinth. (See even Borges is connected—Ha.)    The link! If you are interested.
