From Egyptian hieroglyphs and Chinese ideograms to comic books and AI-generated art, words and images have gone hand in hand for millennia. Ars Poetica, a conference presented by the University of Vermont’s School of the Arts and named after a treatise by the ancient Roman writer Horace, celebrates art, literature and their many, many intersections. New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss keynotes this weekend of talks, readings, workshops and performances from local poets, curators, artists, authors and illustrators. Where else can you learn how to draw a comic strip and hear a lecture on e-poetry?
