Ekphrasis in Poetry: Writing With Art

2-part workshop (Dec 2 and Dec 9)

with Mirjam Frosth

Meeting 1: Ekphrastic Poetry
In our first gathering, we’ll read and discuss work by poets like Terrance Hayes, Arda Collins, Frank O'Hara, Jo Shapcott, Mark Doty, and Natasha Trethewey, examining how each writer leverages ekphrasis within their work. Participants will then have a week to create their own ekphrastic poems.


Meeting 2: Poetry Workshop: After a week of writing, we’ll reconvene to share and workshop poems, offering feedback and insights. This session is designed to help each poet refine their work and deepen their understanding of ekphrasis as not only a creative bridge between mediums, but as a new way of thinking and creating.

Mirjam Frosth is a multi-hyphenate cultural worker with a background in poetry and visual art. Her work has been recognized by the likes of Harvard Review and Hyperallergic. As the leader of the creative community Konstwrite, Mirjam develops events and workshops in the arts.
