She wants your ekphrastic prose and poetry! 

​Send up to five pieces inspired by an artwork or an artefact at any virtual museum or collection.

In addition to considering writing inspired by art, you can use prompts from nature or history or anthropology/archeology from any online collection: zoos, aquariums, medical collections, etc.


Send up to five poetry or short prose works responding to the specimen, object, or art to Robbi Nester at rknester@gmail.com.

Please include a link to the image you chose and your email address, brief bio, and a Word doc.

Hello Ekphrastic Review, I'm submitting my poem Madame Recamier, based upon Magritte's brass sculpture, "Madame Recamier," which resides today in the Magritte Museum Beaux Art, Brussels, Belgium.
Thanks,
Bill Ratner
