Portfolio: Translating Verse into Narrative

This project site explores how transcribing Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry and transforming it into visual and written art can open new avenues for storytelling and self-expression. Through close reading, transcription, and artistic adaptation, it engages Bishop’s themes of travel, grief, and nature, showing their relevance to contemporary creativity. The work culminates in a public broadside and curated portfolio that reimagines the poem for a modern audience. A collaborative seminar invites participants to interact with the transcription, offering cross-culture and interdisciplinary insights. The project highlights how dialogue with historical literature can inspire innovation, reflection, and new forms of artistic expression. This page will be designed to house all my progress, and findings from my Student Ambassador Project.
