Ellene Glenn Moore and Miranda Schmidt will discuss how they write between and across forms, bringing poetry and prose together in their most recent books. Ellene’s recent chapbook, Passage: An Essay, unfolds over the course of a single day. It moves between narrative essay, lyric essay, and short prose lyrics, using the tools of these forms to explore not just the linear passage of time, but also the contraction and dilation of the self that inhabits each infinite moment. Miranda’s debut novel, Leafskin, is about a poet, breaks into poetry at crucial moments, and prioritizes techniques we often associate with poetry like rhythm, sound, image, and repetition. Together, Ellene and Miranda will consider how they each write in both forms, when bringing poetry and prose together can be most effective and necessary, and what writing across and between genres can bring to both text and practice.
