What is poetry? How might we think about, find, read, listen to, or compose poetry in a multi-media landscape? This workshop opens these questions in order to pursue a communal investigation. Open to poets, performers, composers, and to anyone merely curious, this intensive seminar will feature the close listening, reading, talking, performing, and perhaps screening of poems and multiply-mediated poetic works, ranging from the "chance" compositions of John Cage to the United States of Poetry CD to 18th-century broadside ballads to forms of collective composition such as the Japanese renga. At the conclusion of our Lab, all researchers will have sketched, produced, or at least pondered a work of their own, composed singly or in groups.
