Ekphrasis asks us to inhabit the space between art and language, translating visual, auditory, or multi-sensory experience into poetry. Spending time with poems by the instructor, Aziza Barnes, Taylor Johnson, Camonghne Felix, and others, participants will explore their own sightlines: the ways of seeing, interpreting, and responding to art. Poets will also respond to artworks of their own choosing or the instructor’s curated selections to explore how those perspectives have been expressed through various forms of ekphrasis.
