Instructor: Joni Wallace In this offsite class, to be held at SAMA, we will explore ekphrasis as genre and process: poems engaging otherwise “mute” art forms with text. Participants will look at ekphrastic poems by diverse writers including William Carlos Williams, Frank O’Hara, Mary Jo Bang, Ann Carson and Jessica Baran. Then we will experiment and generate our own work in response to works of art at the museum. We will also engage in collaborative exercises designed to highlight through vivid writing what is happening, what is shown and what is hidden in selected visual art.
