Program: Writing Letters & Using the Letter Form in Your Creative Work
Presented by Kevin Rabas
This session will explore how to use letters (and emails, posts, and texts) not only as their own creative art form, but as material and fuel for more formal creative works. We will also explore the "epistolary" (the letter form) as a structure in the poem, the narrative (fiction or nonfiction), as well as other genres and mediums, including film.
