Using Musical Prompts to Write Poetry

at Larchmere Arts

A four-session writing workshop focused on the intersection of music and poetry.

Ekprhrasis, a Greek word meaning “description”, usually applies to a marriage of visual art and poetry. What happens when music is used as a prompt to create poetry? This course will challenge writers to compose poetry inspired by music and musicians who choose to take the course to compose music intended to inspire words. This ekphrastic approach will serve as a catalyst for creatives to stretch the boundaries of their craft. It will motivate participants to write relevant poems that address social, cultural, and political topics, as well as introspective works, inspired by live and pre-recorded instrumental music. Led by poet and multi-genre artist Vince Robinson.
