Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop

Friday 18 May, 10.30am-3.30pm
Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop
Frances-Anne King
Ticket £25 / £20

Local poet, Frances-Anne King leads a workshop that explores the different ways in which poems can be written in response to art. Through a series of exercises including handling objects from the Museum’s collection and close reading of poems, participants will be encouraged to ‘shrug off antiquity’s obsession with elaborate description’, and to interpret, inhabit, confront, and speak to a chosen piece of art through their writing.
