About the event
An Ekphrastic poem is a poem about another piece of art. It may be a painting, a song, a sculpture, a movie, a dance. The only thing it cannot be, is a poem about another poem. Sandra Beasley takes us through the Ekphrastic form, and teaches you how to write your very own Ekphrastic about the artwork in the Hostetler Gallery. Sip and write with Susan Hostetler's wine pairings in her beautiful gallery at 42 Centre St. Come before dinner, come after lunch, come before a Hinge date, come during a Hinge date, bring your husband, bring your daughter, bring your weird roommate. Write a poem, put it in your pocket, throw it in the harbor, chew it up, tape it on the wall.
