I'm going to be talking about using art as an impetus for some poetry with lots of examples. There are loads of sites with ideas for this. Here are some ekphrastic poems I've read in preparation for this:
- Musee des Beaux Arts - Auden
- Landscape with the Fall of Icarus - William Carlos Williams
- Anne Sexton’s Starry Night also here on Youtube
- Wendy Cope’s The Uncertainty of The Poet
- Lawrence Ferlengetti's Short Story on a Painting of Gustav Klimt
- Not My Best Side - UA Fanthorpe
- Derek Mahon's Courtyards in Delft
- The MEeting on The Turret Stars - Paul Durcan
Here are some good links Intertextuality

This sounds really great - hope it goes well! Unfortunately I'm hiding out down in de Rebel County but maybe next time:)
How about Monday night Glor at the International Bar, Dublin? Or Friday night Caca Milis Wexford? Hope you can make it to one or both!
Wish I could be there! I guess since Padhraig's prompt for the bus fits right in here, I'll be there in spirit. Certainly would qualify in the wrinkle department (and actually wrote one about Brueghal's Fall of Icarus, too, a year of so ago).
