The Black Ekphrastic at the Crossroads of Poetry & Art

An ekphrastic poem is a vivid poetic description of a scene, a work of art, or any other artistic genre, such
as film, music, or dance. Today, each poet has chosen a piece of artistic work by a Black artist and will read a poem they have written inspired by the piece of art. Each poem will be accompanied by a
photograph or other image representing the work of art.
