Writing Poems & Creating Images Inspired by Enheduanna, the First Writer Who Signed Her Name
This online seminar-workshop will take as its inspiration the Morgan Library exhibit, She Who Wrote: Enheduanna and Women of Mesopotamia, ca. 3400–2000 B.C. as well as the Temple Hymns of Enheduanna. Inspired by the prayer-poems, stories and postures of figurines created over five thousand years ago, this class will involve writing poems, and, for those poets who are also visually inclined, creating images that spring from reactions to this ancient work.
How can the deep past, and a voice clearly declaring who she was, inspire the poetry of the 21st century? Let's look at the patterns of the Mesopotamian poetry, the words of Enheduanna, and the piercing eyes of the sculptures of women who were her contemporaries to inspire — loosely and personally — the poetry and poetic imagery we can make for ourselves today. This class is for poets of all interests and levels, from beginner to accomplished. We welcome visual artists new to poetry and poets who make visual art.
Each class includes a discussion of ancient inspirations and time to write or draw.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
