Dear Colleagues
Intellect is proud to announce the recent publication of:
Media Poetry: An International Anthology
Edited by Eduardo Kac
ISBN 9781841500300 / £19.95 / paperback
Media Poetry: An International Anthology is the first international
anthology to document a radically new poetry which takes language beyond the
confines of the printed page into a non-linear world of multimedia,
interactivity and networking. This anthology includes extensive
documentation and discussion of digital poetry and expands the range of
contemporary writing to encompass poems created with video, holography,
skywriting, and even biotechnology.
The poets in this book embrace new technologies to explore a new syntax made
of linear and non-linear animation, hyperlinkage, interactivity, real-time
text generation, spatiotemporal discontinuities, self-similarity, synthetic
spaces, immateriality, diagrammatic relations, visual tempo, biological
growth and mutation, multiple simultaneities, and many other innovative
procedures.
This media poetry, although defined within the field of experimental
poetics, departs radically from the avant-garde movements of the first half
of the twentieth century, and the print-based approaches of the second half.
Through an embrace of the vast possibilities made available through
contemporary media, the writers in this anthology have become the poetic
pioneers for the next millennium.
³Making space through and in and of language distinguishes
the kinetic poets featured in this important book.²
Michael Joyce, author
