Expansion of theme: What is the relationship between what is on the page and
what is performed, visually, aurally and gesturally?
This question is clearly central to the performance of visual poetry, but
the Fifth Sub Voicive Colloquium will aim to look at any or all aspects of
innovative and investigative poetry
Background information:- Because the event is a colloquium, the day will be
structured to encourage informed talk between all present across a range of
related topics.
Contributors are asked to lead and stimulate discussion on these topics, as
they help to initiate them, by speaking for perhaps 15 minutes in such a way
as to encourage response, for which another 15 minutes is scheduled; they
are asked to try not to prepare a full text (and not to prepare an academic
paper even if their work will lead later to an academic paper) and to speak
extempore as much as possible.
In this way, all present will be able to participate fairly fully
The Sub Voicive Colloquia grew out of the concerns of Sub Voicive Poetry
readings and remain intimately concerned with the implicit evolving agenda
of that reading series. It is strongly suggested that familiarity and
sympathy with that agenda is a prerequisite for leading contributors to the
SV Colloquia. On the other hand, it is intended that the colloquium itself
will be open to all who wish to attend, attend to and join the discussions.
