With one sentence, a story can be told and a world of possibilities can open up. Whether you're writing flash fiction, prose poetry, essayette, or another hybrid form, blending genres can be an inspiring way to explore horror, mystery, and suspense. In this multi-genre workshop, we'll look to Charles Simic, Amy Hempel, Ross Gay, Julio Cortázar, and others to better understand how short forms can capture the ways fear, desire, and daily life can intersect. We'll explore blockheads, stanzagraphs, units of time, and other craft aspects that help us delve into our use of the short form.
