From 2016-2018 I curated the Ekphrazein reading series, a program which enlisted poets and performing artists in an extended exploration of one archetypal image from the physical collection at the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) located in Midtown Manhattan. Coming from the Greek ek, “out,” and phrasis, “speak,” the verb ekphrazein means to call a visual object by name. It is the description of one artwork by another medium, thus allowing each form to illuminate and enhance the other.
