Poets, Poetry and New Media. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 264
This book explores the intersection of (1) poetry,
(2) digital learning environments, and (3) multiple
literacies, pushing and exploring the boundaries of
what can be done with poetry in an online, digital
environment. The research is based on interviews
with prominent contemporary Canadian poets in an
attempt to explore the nature of poetry, the
teaching and learning of poetry and the potential
role of new media. A multimodal approach to poetry,
(with an emphasis on the visual, spatial, gestural,
audio, and linguistic), can offer new and powerful
ways to think about and understand poetry. The
findings in this book suggest that new media’s
performative potential facilitates a multimodal
understanding of poetry. Reading and writing poetry
in new media blurs the boundary between a poem and
its performance and reminds us of poetry’s oral
origins.
