One Student's Story
The professor always asked, "What kind of poem is this?" or "Do you know what kind of story this is?"
Sestina, Pantoum, Villanelle...Flash Fiction, Metafiction, Dirty Realism.
I'd never even heard of a Sestina, but apparently I'd read tons of them.
No one knew the answers. They never teach us about how anything is written, just what it means once it's put in the Norton. Just footnotes and allusions. That's it.
