SUMMARY:Poems from Pictures: An Ekphrasis Workshop @ William Hall
DESCRIPTION:Ekphrasis is the process of describing visual works of art 
 using the written word. Join us for this five-session workshop (plus a 
 culminating poetry reading) to take on the enjoyable challenge of creating 
 poems inspired by paintings or photographs (including your own candid 
 pics). Examples from well-known poets will start us off. From there\, we 
 will dive into the ekphrasis pool\, “sketching” our responses to 
 pictures shown in class. The first five sessions will be hands-on 
 learning\, and we will culminate with a sixth session that will be a public 
 reading of your work\, to which you may invite family and friends.\n\nEach 
 week we will share our poems and pictures for feedback\, with the aim of 
 bringing out the best in your poem. Expect opportunities to “grow” your 
 poetry\, discover new art and artists\, and\, most importantly\, experience 
 the pleasure of being part of a supportive community of\nwriters.\n\nFree 
 and open to the public. Space is limited and registration is required. 
 Register below or contact the library for assistance. Register once for the 
 first five workshop sessions. Separate registration for the culminating 
 poetry reading on December 8 is available on our website.\n\nHost Ira 
 Schaeffer is a long-time poet and resident of Rhode Island\, who has been 
 widely published in a variety of print and e-publications. A former CCRI 
 English Professor\, Ira continues to share his love of the written word by 
 leading workshops in local libraries and centers for lifelong learning.
