Crafting the Postcard Story
You might call postcard story the love child of poetry and prose: a combination of the compressed symbolic charge of a lyric poem with a remarkably wide choice of narrative techniques. Charles Baxter eloquently evokes the ‘less is more’ principle of the postcard story: Some other world is making its way into these brief, reticent, meticulous stories. Working in a welcoming, supportive creative environment, participants will engage with a variety of prompts to craft short but intensely powerful flash fictions. Participants will be invited to bring photographs, images and artifacts to use as inspiration for stories. Writers will develop between three to seven postcard stories.
