Jeremy Noel-Todd famously stated that prose poetry "drives the reading mind beyond the city limits," and indeed, many writers find prose poetry to be one of the most intriguing and flexible genres to work in.  Join Claire Bateman as she leads a discussion on the characteristics of prose poetry and encourages us to experiment with various ways to get in on this ride. 

Claire Bateman is the author of WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD, forthcoming from 42 Miles Books, and eight other poetry collections, most recently, SCAPE (New Issues Poetry & Prose, Kalamazoo).  She has been awarded fellowships from the NEA and the Tennessee Arts Commission, and has received the New Millennium Writing Award (twice) and two Pushcart Prizes.  She has taught at the Greenville Fine Arts Center, Clemson University, and various conferences, including Bread Loaf and the Bloch Island Poetry Festival.
