Ekphrasis: Poetry and Visual Art
Ekphrasis is considered to be a rhetorical device in which one medium of art tries to relate to another by defining and describing its essence and form. A descriptive work of prose or poetry, may then highlight what is shown in the visual arts, and in doing so, may enhance the original art. Writers are invited to view the artwork in the d'ART Center Mid-Atlantic Exhibit opening April 23 and be inspired to write about their experience.
Poetry readings will take place on May 9 starting at 2:30p.m. Refreshments served. FREE and Open to all.
