I’ve been teaching Prose Poetry at The Attic Institute. Students have asked for an advanced course in prose poetry and it’s finally here.
Prose Poetry II
The course builds on ideas from Prose Poetry I. Writing exercises will require more time beyond our time together. Students are expected to bring thoughtfully composed prose poems to every class for workshop. Feedback and participation is expected during workshop and in writing. Students will have the option of a 30-minute one-on-one consultation via Zoom.
Register for the course.
WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT RUBEN QUESADA
"Can’t say enough about how I enjoyed and learned from Ruben Quesada on Saturday. He is an inspiring teacher who is well prepared, insightful, and highly skilled with Zoom mechanics. He treated each participant with respect and was neither “stuffy” nor too erudite. I would happily take another workshop from/with him!" M K Moen
"This class was excellent, one of if not the best class I've taken at The Attic. He gave us tools, time to write, time to share, examples, etc. I am so impressed." Pattie Palmer-Baker
"Really enjoyed Ruben Quesada’s prose poetry workshop. He’s a wonderful teacher. Ruben's course was well-organized, well-paced, and well-prepared. I loved the readings that were sent ahead of time, and those that we read closely in classes. I usually struggle with generative exercises in 3-hour workshops -- there doesn't seem to have any time, or it's hard to get into the mindspace to write anything. I found that not only Ruben created a safe and supportive space that made writing easy, but his prompts were effective in generating work. I am looking forward to taking more workshops taught by Ruben at the Attic Institute." Mariko O. Gordon
