Thom Francis introduces us to Jill Crammond and Cheryl A. Rice who shared their work at Arts Associates Gallery in Albany for a special reading celebrating Poetic License - a joint project of the Hudson Valley Writers Guild and Upstate Artists Guild. “Ekphrastic art” is defined as the response of an artist in one medium to a work of art by an artist in another medium. Its more common manifestation is in poetry written about visual art, e.g., paintings, photographs, drawings, sculpture. Poetic License – Albany is a project that turns that around, giving local visual artists an opportunity to respond to the work of poets. In 2022, inspired by a project created by the Poetry Barn in West Hurley, NY & the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), the Hudson Valley Writers Guild & the Upstate Artists Guild created their own version of this project which they called Poetic License – Albany. 113 individual poems were submitted by 62 poets; ultimately, 18 works of visual art were exhibited at the Art Associates Gallery & at Lark Hall in Albany, with 3 readings held in conjunction with the exhibits. This week we will hear from two of those poets - Jill Crammond and Cheryl A. Rice - who shared their work on September 28, 2022, at the Arts Associates Gallery in Albany. Local poet and photographer Dan Wilcox served as the host for the evening introducing the writers and artists. The Hudson Valley Writers Guild & the Upstate Artists Guild are excited to work together again to present this opportunity in 2023 for collaboration between poets and visual artists in the Capital District.

Victoria Chang is the subject of this month's Nothing But The Poem podcast. The Taiwanese-American poet has had seven collections of poetry published, her most recent - With My Back To The World (2024) - winning the Forward Prize for Best Poetry Collection. ​'Chang has liberated the Ekphrastic form to new lyric heights and depths. Inventive, meditative, audacious, strange and soulful ... that engages the eye and mind as much as the ear and heart' ​- Raymond Antrobus 'Chang invites readers to query depression, grief, and the purpose of art. There are no answers here, only an ongoing conversation.' - Emily Pèrez Our resident podcast host Sam Tongue took an immersive dive into two Victoria Chang poems Mr Darcy and Edward Hopper's Office at Night. Find out what Sam - and the Friends Of The SPL group - took from these poems in our Nothing But The Poem podcast.

Today's poem is Cy Twombly's Untitled (Say Goodbye Catullus, to the shores of Asia Minor) by Javier O. Huerta. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “This week's episodes are a special feature on ekphrasis – poems which engage with works of art. Ekphrastic poetry sometimes pushes back against the idea of simple art made complicated in idea, born from an eccentric personality. Inspired by another famous Twombly painting, one that itself is inspired partly by a poem, today's poem realizes the frenetic sense of the artist's canvas is a conceptual product of a sophisticated and sometimes frustrating mind.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Ekfa-what?! From the Greek word for "description," ekphrastic poetry was originally just that—poems that painted artwork into words. Over time, though, it's become it's own genre of using art as inspiration.

Take inspiration from pictures and write an ekphrastic poem for today's NaPoWriMo prompt from Lulu Agate

Although ekphrastic poetry (‘poetry about art') has been around for a long time, the majority of ekphrastic writing does little more than recapitulate and describe a painting. In ArtiFact #36, Alex Sheremet is joined by Jessica Schneider to discuss her recent book of ekphrastic poetry, “Ekphrasm”, and how her approach is different. From the use of recurring characters, to combining observations on photography with those on painting, to characterizing her various poetic narrators, to the use of psychological tricks, there is more to ekphrasis than meets the eye. Painters covered include Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Hilma af Klint, and others.

Ekphrastic poetry includes vivid imagery about a work of art created by another artist. You may have read ekphrastic poems inspired by paintings or sculptures, but they can also be about music, dance, and other forms of art. I explain some reasons why ekphrastic poetry can be so appealing to readers and writers, and how these poems can get our creative juices flowing. ********************* Email me: marisadellefarfalle@gmail.com Twitter: twitter.com/marisadee13 Instagram: www.instagram.com/marisadf13 Buy Me a Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/marisadf13 I'd really appreciate it if you could rate and review this podcast on Apple Podcasts, as it'll help a lot more people find out about this show!

Interview from the archives with Vermont Poet Daniel Lusk. This conversation took place at the time that his collection Kin was published (Maple Tree Editions). This week's Write the Book Prompt comes from a local writer and artist who lives in Bristol, Vermont: Lily Hinrichsen. Choose one of the works of art on her website, and write an ekphrastic poem. Ekphrastic comes from the Greek word for description. Here's a definition from the Poetry Foundation:  an ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning.  So my suggestion is that you visit Lily's website, take a look at the art there, and write! If you choose to share the outcome with me, I'll share it with Lily, and she may post it on her website at the side of the work you chose to write about.   Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.

From Ovid to Brughel the elder to W.H. Auden and Williams Carlos Williams; with Ferneyhough's composition. Landscape with the Fall of Icarus William Carlos Williams - 1883-1963 According to Brueghel when Icarus fell it was spring a farmer was ploughing his field the whole pageantry of the year was awake tingling near the edge of the sea concerned with itself sweating in the sun that melted the wings' wax unsignificantly off the coast there was a splash quite unnoticed this was Icarus drowning Musee des Beaux Arts W. H. Auden About suffering they were never wrong, The old Masters: how well they understood Its human position: how it takes place While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along; How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting For the miraculous birth, there always must be Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating On a pond at the edge of the wood: They never forgot That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse Scratches its innocent behind on a tree. In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry, But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky, Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/john-kennedy98/message

Welcome to the end of Spooky Season, and we hope that we move into November with safety and security. And, most importantly, we hope you can move into the holidays holding onto the stories we find comfort in. This week’s guest—the one and only T.H Ponders from Accession fame—brings us to the fireplace, and teaches us about the Ekphrastic tradition: where art tells a story, and that story becomes art. Find out why it matters that we tell stories about art; ponder with Ponders about the history of Ekphrasis; enjoy the debut of our new Inception podcast within the podcast; and cry about the days we used to be able to go to international art museums and stand for long periods of time in front of art without a care in the world.

December is a special time of year and this is a special kind of podcast—two guests! Seasoned poet Nicole Brissette and self-taught painter Jason Baker talk art, poetry, the influence of the mind and our ever-changing world on creativity, and how each has grown into the artists they are today (spoiler, includes the work of a fortune teller). This month marks the beginning of Hearsay Poetry’s new monthly ekphrastic poetry challenge. Ekphrastic poetry is “a vivid, often dramatic, verbal description of a visual work of art, either real or imagined.” This month features Jason Baker’s painting Cathedral Iterations. Share your ekphrastic writing at the Hearsay open mic or on Facebook!
