Ekphrasis: A Special Session (T 3/2, 7-8:30 PM)

$35.00

Poets have been writing about art for as long as poems have existed—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. In this special session, we’ll explore the “why”—and the challenges—of ekphrasis. Participants will also begin drafting a poem that explores, explodes, responds to, or sheds new light on a favorite artwork.
