We show how bosonic (free field) representations for so-called degenerate conformal theories are built by singular vectors in Verma modules. Based on this construction, general expressions of conformal blocks are proposed. As an example we describe new modules for the $SL(2)$ Wess-Zumino -Witten model. They are, in fact, the simplest non-trivial modules in a full set of bosonized highest weight representations of $\hat {sl}_2$ algebra. The Verma and Wakimoto modules appear as boundary modules of this set. Our construction also yields a new kind of bosonization in 2d conformal field theories.
