Join Chicago poet and teacher, Jamie Wendt, as she discusses her approach to writing ekphrastic poems, which are poems inspired by works of art. Participants will read and discuss some ekphrastic poems written by diverse poets and will note a range of possibilities as well as how writing ekphrastic poems is a creative way to be in conversation with visual artists. Participants will have an opportunity to generate their own drafts of ekphrastic poems inspired by photographs and paintings.
NOTE: Participants are encouraged to bring an old photograph of a family member or of an important historical place, or bring a link to a painting online from an art museum that relates to a topic of interest.
