Ekphrasis: Writing Inspired by Visual Art
Brenda Cárdenas, WI Poet Laureate
One artistic form can inspire another, creating profound connections, often in unexpected ways. In this spirit, Cárdenas will lead a workshop that melds poetry and visual art. Learn about various approaches poets take to ekphrasis, and then, using prompts to guide you, create a poem in conversation with a work of visual art that inspires, intrigues, puzzles, or moves you.
