What is the Art of Responding to Art?

These mountains layer like organs:
Brown liver, red heart, blue eyes, yellow skull:
Each nested in each.

The Creative Confluence exhibit at the Loveland Museum includes poems written in response to the visual art which represents the origins of abstract art in Colorado.

How do writers approach the special task of letting visual art be the muse?  This workshop will guide participants in exploring various ways to hold a poetic conversation with visual art.

The session will be conducted by Current Loveland Poet Laureate Beth Lechleitner and Loveland Poet Laureate Emerita Lynn Kincanon.
