About the event
Ekphrasis: Writing Inspired by Visual Art: One artistic form can inspire another, creating profound
connections, sometimes in fun and unexpected ways. In this spirit, Wisconsin's poet laureate, Brenda
Cárdenas, will lead workshops that meld poetry and visual art. Learn about various approaches
poets take to ekphrasis, and then, using prompts to guide you, create a poem in conversation with a
work of visual art that inspires, intrigues, puzzles, or moves you.
