Class Description

Secrets in Boxes is a 2-hour generative workshop that considers prose poetry and ekphrasis, using the innovative art of Joseph Cornell as inspiration. Cornell, known for his intricate assemblage boxes, created poetic juxtapositions of everyday objects, inviting viewers to uncover hidden connections. In this workshop, you’ll explore how containment, juxtaposition, and exploration within Cornell’s art can inspire your prose poetry, generating new works that blend visual art and text in compelling ways. Perfect for poets seeking inspiration to write new prose poetry.
