“The short course was a full, summary course. Enlightening, enrichening, elevating, simply superb material, the genius of C.D. Wright, taught by Hillman and Gander, was completely superb. I am not a poet. I am an art historian interested in literature, especially poetry, having studied ekphrasis with the great Paul Barolsky. So, for me, the deep reading of Wright's works, chosen as they were, illuminated my imagination in pictorial terms, also deeply metaphorical and uncanny. This was a hugely satisfying and uplifting experience. I used to live in Nevada City and served on the NC Arts Council for a time. However, I was at the VIMEO presentation from New Mexico, where we now reside, and the entire machinations of the course were perfect. Thank you!!”
