Poetry has a way of being vague—purposefully ambiguous with playful allusions. But, poetry can also respond to something tangible. The Toledo Museum of Art’s annual Ekphrastic Writing Poetry Contest will honor the tradition of vivid, descriptive poetry that responds to visual art. Poetic descriptions of the TMA collection can be submitted to the 2015 contest which will run through Friday, March 20. TMA also invites patrons to take a docent-led tour related to the contest, helping writers find inspiration and understand the unique tradition of ekphrastic poetry.
