In “Seeing the Stanza,” participants will learn how to write ekphrastic poems, a genre of poetry which uses vivid language to describe or respond to a visual form of art. Participants will explore ekphrastic works by poets such as Tiana Clark and M. Mick Powell, then generate their own ekphrastic poems in response to contemporary forms of visual art.
