Join Steere for an interactive introduction to the world of ekphrastic poetry connecting art and language in creative ways.

After a deep dive into the process, participants will respond to several works of art on view in the Museum’s permanent collection. Participants will have an opportunity to share the results in preparation for a more final version of their poem to be continued after the event.

Steere will coordinate the submission of a final poems to be gathered into a class anthology.
