There are almost six years worth of writing at The Ekphrastic Review. With daily or more posts of poetry, fiction, and prose for most of that history, we have a wealth of talent to show off. We encourage readers to explore our archives by month and year in the sidebar. Click on a random selection and read through our history.
 
Our new Throwback Thursday feature will highlight writing from our past, chosen on purpose or chosen randomly. You’ll get the chance to discover past contributors, work you missed, or responses to older ekphrastic challenges.

Ekphrastic Challenge Responses: Mark Rothko
 
Rothko’s colour field paintings have proved an endless source of inspiration to writers. Just what is it about these simple colour swathes that we respond to so viscerally?
 
Ken Gierke, Carole Mertz, Janice Bethany and others explore that in this fine collection of Rothko poems.
