Ekphrasis comes from the Greek words ek (out) and phrásis (speak), literally speaking out. The Poetry Foundation defines an ekphrastic poem as a vivid description of a work of art. But ekphrasis is more than giving voice to the visual, more than mere description. Ekphrasis offers one’s voice in dialogue with another. In Ekphrasis: A PCC Faculty Exhibition, recent art from Portland Community College art faculty and lab techs is positioned in conversation, both with each other and with writing faculty who composed ekphrastic poems about the work.
