Ekphrasis: A Writing Workshop by Kindall Gant

Get your creative juices flowing! The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH) “Ekphrasis” workshop will introduce and explore the use of ekphrasis in poetry. The Poetry Foundation defines ekphrasis as, "a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning." The workshop, instructed by Kindall Gant, will be held in two sessions, on Thursday, November 17, and Friday, November 18, from 2:00 – 4:00 pm CST on both days. Classes will be held at WCDH, 515 Spring Street in Eureka Springs. The class fee is $40 per person and all proceeds benefit the WCDH scholarship fund.Register at writerscolony.org/events, email director@writerscolony.org, or call 479-253-7444.
