Creative Writing Workshop: Ekphrastic Poetry
In this creative writing workshop using Rodney McMillian: A Son of the Soil as inspiration, Columbia’s poet laureate, Jenn Bartell Boykin, leads an exploration of the poetic form of ekphrasis, a vivid description of a scene or work of art. Participants narrate and reflect on McMillian’s works, amplifying and expanding meaning through their own original poetry.
