flutter across the white walls of The Broad, surrounding poet and doctoral student Callie Siskel as she read aloud her poem &ldquo;Vanishing Points.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by Los Angeles artist Grotjahn&rsquo;s series of nine angular black and white drawings addressing perspective, Siskel&rsquo;s poem captivated more than 60 invited guests who listened attentively before breaking into loud applause. The group then moved through the unusually quiet museum toward a 2010 painting by New York-based artist Rudolf Stingel. There they heard poet Liz &ldquo;LA&rdquo; Johnson &mdash; like Siskel a USC Dornsife doctoral student in <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cwphd\">creative writing and literature<\/a> &mdash; read her poem on memory, <em>Portal<\/em>, inspired by Stingel&rsquo;s untitled landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Siskel and Johnson were among five doctoral students &mdash; four in creative writing and literature and one in <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/ahis\/graduate-studies-new\/\">art history<\/a> &mdash; participating in the April 19 student poetry reading at The Broad organized by former California poet laureate and Professor of English <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cwphd\/carol-muske-dukes\/\">Carol Muske-Dukes<\/a> as the culmination of her graduate poetry course &ldquo;A Tour of the Imagination.&rdquo; Students selected art works currently exhibited at the museum and wrote poems inspired by their choices over the course of a semester. In addition to Grotjahn and Stingel, students chose works by Kara Walker, Robert Rauschenberg and Yayoi Kusama.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-image-landscape news-image-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/Broad2-2354.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape Right\"><\/p>\n<p>Carol Muske-Dukes, professor of English and former California poet laureate (left), and doctoral students Callie Siskel and Grant Johnson participate in a group reading for six voices of a poem written in response to <em>The Visitors<\/em>, a video installation by Ragnar Kjartansson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&ldquo;The poems that emerged from imaginations of students in this ekphrastic&nbsp;course and were showcased at the &lsquo;Night at the Museum&rsquo; after-hours reading elicited intense enthusiasm,&rdquo; Muske-Dukes said. The audience remained spellbound as the poets came together for the final reading &mdash; an ensemble piece for six voices&nbsp;inspired by <em>The Visitors<\/em>, a video installation by Ragnar Kjartansson. These poems will be published in chapbook form by Lulu Press this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of the course came up a few years ago during an event hosted by The Broad, Muske-Dukes said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;During dinner, I talked to Ed Patuto, director of audience engagement at the museum, about the current running between poetry and art: how the visual and the literary flow together in imagination. Like most poets, I&#8217;m inspired by images and how images become words. That sense of inspiration formed the basis for the course.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspiring a new willingness to experiment&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Siskel, a Chicago-native whose poems have been published in such prestigious journals as <em>The Yale Review, Poetry Northwest, 32 Poems, Passages North <\/em>and<em> The Hopkins Review<\/em>, said she was drawn to the course by the opportunity to work again with Muske-Dukes, with whom she had already taken a Fall semester class on the intersection of film and poetry.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Also, what drew me to the class was the exceptional opportunity to be in The Broad, not as a visitor but as a poet,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-image-portrait news-image-left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/Broad3-2354.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait Left\" width=\"225\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<p>Callie Siskel reading her poem &ldquo;Vanishing Points&rdquo; inspired by California artist Mark Grotjahn&rsquo;s work <em>Untitled (Dancing Black Butterflies)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>After visiting the museum, Siskel immediately knew she wanted to write about Grotjahn&rsquo;s <em>Untitled (Dancing Black Butterflies)<\/em> because &ldquo;it just kept beckoning me.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Grotjahn&rsquo;s drawings evoked in me the sense of obsessive longing and loss, themes that I &mdash; and many poets &mdash; write about. The artist&rsquo;s intellectual project on perspective only bolstered my interest &mdash; this idea of a vanishing point, which is also such a gorgeous phrase. &rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Siskel returned to the museum several times to spend time with the dancing black butterflies, finding that Grotjahn&rsquo;s work inspired in her a willingness to experiment.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The nature of the art work as a series that is pursuing different angles made me break out of my comfort zone,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Instead of writing a more continuous narrative, I worked against that and disrupted my natural process, experimenting with disjunctive sections that could approach and re-approach the subject from different angles.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Siskel also welcomed the rare opportunity to write in anticipation of a reading.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Normally, poets hope that they&rsquo;ll be lucky enough to read their work,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;But this made me think very carefully about the oral tradition of poetry and what would sound good, clear and traceable to an audience. That was an important exercise.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nostalgia and memory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Johnson, a Provost&rsquo;s Fellow whose poems have appeared in <em>The Southern Review<\/em>, <em>Antioch Review<\/em>, <em>Indiana Review<\/em> and other journals under her professional name, LA Johnson, said she, too, jumped at the chance to write a poem in response to a work of art.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;One of my favorite pastimes is going to museums, and I do get a lot of inspiration from art in my own work,&rdquo; she said. She was drawn to Stingel&rsquo;s piece portraying a landscape from the artist&rsquo;s childhood because it reminded her of her own poems about memory. &ldquo;As I thought more about the piece and spent more time with it, I felt a real sense of nostalgia,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The poem she wrote in response to the painting explores how others shape our memories and how they can bring back forgotten landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The piece invoked in me many different ideas about memory. It made me explore what it means to have a memory from childhood made into a work of art and have others see it, so that the artist&rsquo;s experience becomes part of the viewer&rsquo;s experience.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson was delighted with the opportunity to participate in the reading at The Broad. &ldquo;This is probably the best reading I&rsquo;ve ever done,&rdquo; she said, &ldquo;to the most &mdash; and the most interested &mdash; people.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Both students expressed appreciation of Muske-Dukes&rsquo; teaching and mentorship.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Professor Muske-Dukes gives the best feedback,&rdquo; Johnson said. &ldquo;She has great insight for the heart of the poem and ensuring it has enough space to breathe. She makes all my poems better.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At an exclusive evening event, USC Dornsife doctoral students read the
