Cascadia Poetry Festival Poetry Workshop

Cárdenas will lead a poetry workshop (along with giving a poetry reading and participating on a panel regarding the poetry of social justice/socio-political resistance) at this annual poetry festival in Seattle, WA.

Ekphrasis: Writing Inspired by Visual Art

One artistic form can inspire another, creating profound connections, sometimes in fun and unexpected ways. In this generative workshop, you will learn about various approaches poets take to ekphrasis, and then, using prompts to guide you, write a poem in conversation with a work of visual art that inspires, intrigues, puzzles, or moves you. The workshop leader will supply many postcard reproductions of well-known artworks that you can choose from.
