A Four Week Ekphrastic Course Coming Up this Fall...

With many thanks to Women on Writing, an amazing resource promoting women writers in diverse fields.

This is a four week course covering the basics and history of ekphrastic writing, and we'll be reading and writing ekphrasis. A great introduction for those just discovering ekphrastic poetry (or fiction) and a fantastic review for experienced ekphrastic writers, too. 

Ekphrastic writing is the practice of creative writing from visual art. People who love ekphrasis describe being hooked once they start, because it is a wonderful way to expand our imagination, grow our writing, and learn more about visual art. In this class, we will look at the 3000-year history of ekphrasis, and explore fun ways to create our own. We will read inspiring examples, find ideas through brainstorming and writing exercises, and talk about how and where to submit our ekphrastic poetry and stories.

4 weeks for 120 minutes in person via Zoom each week: Wednesdays, 6 pm - 8 pm EST. Dates: October 9, 16, 23, and 30. The class will include time for sharing in class and peer comments. The instructor will also offer feedback on two drafts of ekphrastic writing via email.
