About Me
- Abbreviated Writers' Group of Wesley Chapel
- We're a wee writing group meeting the second and fourth Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Wiregrass Barnes and Noble (on the second floor). We're looking for new members in the area interested in writing, reading, and discussing short verse, prose poetry, short-short fiction, nano-fiction, flash fiction (@300-500 words), etc. Whether you're a beginning writer or a nine-time award-winning novelist (it could happen), stop by and try your hand at these under-appreciated and abbreviated forms. Novel chapters, epic poems, or any other writing of length--while all worthy pursuits--are not our thing. We've selected two texts to help provide inspiration: "Great American Prose Poems," edited by David Lehman and "Sailing Alone Around the Room" by Billy Collins. Drop by. No big whoop.
hi i am new to this circle, can you give me a brief description of what a proem is? Perhaps a sample to go by...
ReplyDeleteA proem is a poem or a prose piece or something in the middle. Technically it's an introduction to a longer work but we don't favor that definition. Hope this helps.
