Then it Became Something Else: Examining the Extended Metaphor
LitSpace Literary Arts Institute at Morean Arts Center
Saint Petersburg, FL
Share this event:


Sometimes a seemingly unlikely comparison between two things can grasp an author and hold them in an elaborate and illuminating meditation on an image. From this fixation, the extended metaphor emerges. This literary technique, used by poets such as Pablo Neruda, Sylvia Plath, and Elizabeth Bishop, offers readers a fresh perspective on a familiar object, event, or emotion sometimes playfully, sometimes painfully. In this course by Kate Sweeney Postle, we will discuss the characteristics of extended metaphor, read a variety of examples, and practice writing our own.

About the Instructor:  
Kate Sweeney Postle holds a PhD in English and nonfiction from Binghamton University and an MFA in poetry from the University of Florida. Her chapbook, Better Accidents, was published by Yellow Jacket Press. She was recently a featured writer in the Cincinnati Reviews miCRo series. Her poetry has appeared in Best New Poets 2009, Haydens Ferry, Meridian, Tampa Review, and Poet Lore, among others.
