The Poet's Novel as a Form of Defiance

Exploring the concept of the 'poet's novel,' this talk by Laynie Browne delves into the intersections of poetry and prose, questioning why poets are drawn to narrative forms. It characterizes this hybrid genre and examines works by notable authors like Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust, and Lydia Davis. Accompanied by drawings from Noah Saterstrom, Browne's insights contribute to the forthcoming collection of essays, "A Forest on Many Stems: Essays on the Poet's Novel," further enriching the discussion on this unique literary form.
