Chapter and Verse
April 28 - June 2, 2010. Chapel Hill, North Carolina
This workshop will bring together our community of new and experienced writers for an exploration of the writing journey in both prose and poetry. Using a series of guided prompts we will experiment with image, point-of-view, setting, sound, and other elements of prose and poetry. We will examine notable texts from contemporary writers to discover their secret power. Participating writers will hone techniques for developing strong voices and images in their work.
