Fayetteville Public Library

Meeting: Ann Henry Board Room

Please join us for a generative poetry workshop with Amelie Langland!

This will be a generative poetry workshop where we will focus on the ancient practice of ekphrasis. Ekphrasis comes from the ancient Greeks and is a form of art which responds, or speaks back, to another work of art. From Homer to Sylvia Plath, poets have written in response to visual art. In this workshop, we will write poems and view visual art, discussing how the two mediums speak to one another

Amelie Langland is a queer, trans poet who grew up in Alabama. She received her MFA in poetry from the University of Arkansas where she was awarded the Carolyn F. Walton Cole Fellowship. She currently serves as an associate editor in poetry at Iron Horse Literary Review. Her poetry has appeared, or is forthcoming, in Best New Poets 2018, RHINO, the minnesota review, NELLE, Bayou Magazine, Measure Review, Susurrus, Texas Review Press, and Poetry South among others. When she is not gardening or teaching, she is most likely watching PBS.
