Join us to learn about ekphrasis!
Join us to learn about ekphrasis, the use of detailed descriptions of visual art as a literary device. In this class, we will read and discuss examples of ekphrastic writing. Attendees will leave the class with concrete strategies to utilize ekphrasis in order to generate work.
Allison Blevins is a poet and publisher who writes confessional free verse poetry and finds inspiration in both traditional and pop culture. She writes to confess her sins and connect with a world she feels largely disconnected from as a neurodiverse person and a person with a physical disability. Her work centers difference and queerness in a world that seeks to push her to the margins. She uses hybrid techniques to open the boundaries of free verse. Her work lives in a space between poetry, flash nonfiction and abstract art.
