I was raised in the shoe family of Januzzi's Shoes. The ditty on the radio in the 80's went something like this: "All over the street, to happy feet. Get your shoozies at Januzzi's."

For some, they put on their writer's hat. For me, I wear my writer's shoes.

What the heck if Ekphrasis 3-C?

Dear Poetry Friends,
 
The Ohio Poetry Association (OPA), in conjunction with the Cincinnati’s Pendleton Art Center’s Art in Action program, is presenting a FREE writing workshop.
 
EKPHRASIS 3-C: CINCINNATI
SATURDAY, MARCH 28 — FREE!
10:30 AM - 3:00 PM
PENDLETON ART CENTER (PAC)
1310 Pendleton Street (just north of Hollywood Casino downtown)
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202
 
This FREE event is part of the Ohio Poetry Association’s Ekphrasis 3-C Series, with two other events in Cleveland and Columbus.
 
EKPHRASIS, in poetry, is the representation (literally a re-presentation) of a work of visual art in the medium of poetry. This event, rather than taking place in a museum, will be held in a century-old factory building which has been converted into working art studios, and currently houses over 100 studios used by more than 150 working artists.
 
The workshop will start with a short program and introduction to the PAC after which poets will be free to roam the building seeking inspiration from art that is on display throughout the building, and to visit many working studios to meet artists where they work. There will be at least 30 participating artists welcoming poets to see the process in action, and to absorb some of the amazing vitality and creativity that permeates the PAC. At 2:00 PM, poets will reconvene to share observations and work from their experience.
 
Ekphrasis 3-C: Cincinnati will be conducted by Bucky IgnatiusPresident of the Greater Cincinnati Writers League who also works as building manager of the PAC. Registration is recommended but not required. You can register by email to bucky.ignatius@gmail.com or by phone, 9AM to 1 PM Monday through Friday, 513-421-3339.
