Lit Youngstown seeks poems inspired by art and movies

Lit Youngstown seeks poets and poetry for summer ekphrastic collaborations with the YWCA and the Youngstown Area Community Concert Band.

The YWCA Women Artists: A Celebration! annual juried art exhibition showcases works by local and regional artists.

Interested poets will receive an electronic image of a painting, photograph, ceramic work or artwork of other media that has been accepted into this year’s show.

Poets will write an ekphrastic poem responding to the artwork.

The poems will be read on 6 p.m. June 29 at the YWCA.
