Ekphrastic Poetry

Ekphrastic poetry is a form of writing where a poet describes or responds to a visual work of art, such as a painting, sculpture, or photograph. The poet draws inspiration from the artwork, often capturing its details, mood, or story, and translating it into words. This blending of visual and verbal art deepens the viewer's understanding and experience of the artwork, creating a dialogue between the two forms. Ekphrastic poetry invites viewers to see the original piece in a new light through the poetic language, enriching both the visual and literary experience.
