Learn about ekphrasis and ekphrastic poetry through the lens of the snapshot at The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH). “What the Human Catches On: Reading and Writing Ekphrastic Poems from Snapshots,” is instructed by creative writing instructor and Ph.D. student, Emma Aylor.

The class fee is $35 per person and all proceeds benefit the WCDH scholarship fund.
The workshop will begin with an introduction to…
