Friday
First, read David R. Slavitt’s “One-Word Poem.”
Now, write your own flash fiction piece that uses footnotes in either a similar or not-at-all similar way. One way might be to use them how Norton Anthology does to explain now-lost mythological references, as in Eliot’s “The Wasteland.” For example, a reference to Grape Ape or Hong Kong Fooey would have that “explaining footnote” attached to it. Maybe a character writes notes on her foot. Whatever the case, somehow, somewhere: footnotes.
