Hooked on Ekphrasis- Four Week Course

Join The Ekphrastic Review's editor for a four week course with Women on Writing. This is the second run of Hooked on Ekphrasis, and it is absolutely magical! We go back to the beginning and look at the history of ekphrastic literature, right through to contemporary practices. We read a variety of ekphrastic writing. We look at different approaches, ways to look at art, submission tips, and more. There are creative writing exercises in every class, and feedback, plus a personal zoom consult (optional) where you can fire off your burning questions, or just chat.

Some comments from participants in the first run of this course:

"Lorette is one of the most vibrant, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable workshop leaders I’ve encountered, and I’ve worked with about a dozen of the top poets in the U.S., including Naomi Shihab Nye, Ted Kooser, and Jane Hirshfield. No one should get bored by coming back again and again. It’s amazing how she keeps the topic fresh: always varied, always full of more prompts and resources to check, and most important of all, always welcoming to everyone who shows up."
Alarie T.

"Lorette's enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge about art combine to make her one of the most exciting and empowering workshop leaders I have ever had the joy of writing with. And the Hyperbole police would not arrest me for saying that!  I was exposed to art I would never have looked twice at, and have learned how to linger and engage with the work and the artist. Her preparation, presentations and written feedback were thoughtful, generous and encouraging. an absolute delight!"

"In 2024, while dealing with a serious medical condition, I've taken a wild ride with Lorette C. Luzajic and The Ekphrastic Review--workshops, Facebook marathons, biweekly challenges. Writing in response to art is helping me heal at the soul level, and for that, I am forever grateful to Lorette and the team at The Ekphrastic Review."

"Truly, you are one of the best teachers I've ever had." Karen F.
