Experience Emerson Live: How to Make Your Dialogue Shine in Prose and Roles of Obsession in Poetry

November 19, 2025, 11:00 a.m. EDT

Join us for a virtual glimpse into the Creative Writing MFA program! How do you write compelling dialogue—dialogue that shows character, advances the story, and is interesting, funny, and riveting—and how do you write compelling dialogue that sounds natural, something that people would say? Balancing art and verisimilitude can be tricky when it comes to writing a scene. In this session, we’ll examine and take apart great dialogue passages from great contemporary writers with a view toward sharpening your own. We will also explore the roles of obsession in poetry—how recurring preoccupations, emotional compulsions or thematic fixations can shape, shift, and inform a poem's form and then how form, in turns, creates a duende that impacts a reader's experience. This talk, though brief, will consider how obsession doesn't just influence what a poet writes about, but how the poem takes shape on the page—its rhythm, syntax, structure, style and how that may lead the writer into a nonce form. Admissions staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have about the program or application process.

We hope to see you there!
