Short Stories and Poetry
Throughout this semester, we will be diving into three different books, two poetry collections and one short story collection with the hopes of understanding how form impacts writing, meaning, and readability.
Central Questions:
How does form impact meaning?
How do sound, style, and rhythm impact a poem?
How does an author communicate a full message through a short story form?
