Write original poems inspired by visual art, led by Toby Bielawski, .
**
Join Albany’s Poet Laureate Toby Bielawski for an afternoon of exploring and writing ekphrastic poetry - poems inspired by visual arts. We’ll meet at the Albany Arts Gallery on Feb. 12, 1251 Solano Ave., from 2:00-4:00, to look at some examples of ekphrasis, then use the multitude of visual inspiration in the gallery - paintings, photography, and handcrafted art objects - to compose our own ekphrastic poems. Perhaps you’ll even write a poem suitable to give to your valentine!
