Ekphrasis is a term from the Greek which may be used to describe a piece of writing that responds directly to visual art. In this workshop we will consider how to use art as a springboard for poems. We’ll look at the concepts behind ekphrastic writing through close readings of Seamus Heaney, Gillian Clarke and WS Merwin. Through a series of writing exercises, participants will be guided towards producing new work during the session, and there will be an opportunity to share early drafts and ideas.
