Mountain Writers Literary Festival: “Learn World-Building from Rappers” Workshop with Steven Dunn

Learn World-Building from Rappers

With a sense of urgency, rappers often build three-dimensional worlds in small spaces. We will listen to songs and discuss what we notice. We will study the rhetorical and poetic strategies rappers use, and discuss possibilities to use those strategies in our own work, whether it’s fiction, poetry, hybrid, and anything else.
