S178. Poetry as Sound's Potential

Room 604, Washington State Convention Center, Level 6
Saturday, March 1, 2014
12:00 pm to 1:15 pm

 

Poets will discuss sound’s potential to act as a continuous thread that meaningfully links multiple poems into series, individual volumes, and across books. Dialogue, ambient sound occurring in the poem’s setting, formal patterning, song, and performance are among the sounds of interest to the panelists. In addition to offering attendees craft-based ideas for employing sound as part of their process, panelists will discuss sound’s tradition in poetries of a variety of aesthetics and cultures.
