Writing Towards Art

with Amelie Langland

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
