Pedagogical Musing: On another note, I think K. Silem Mohammad, in terms of his craft, is interested in highlighting linguistics, media, and the way words can intersect by dissecting something. Creating space in an infinitely-spaced medium. Conceptually, I love it. I think it would be a valuable exercise for students as well- and pedagogically speaking, I…
Fiona Banner The Nam – While we didn’t get a large amount of text to view, the images and textual representations of other projects clearly show her scrupulous attention to detail and restricted structure. She IS craft, in my opinion. Initially, I didn’t actually find myself interested with the concept. It sounded dry. Despite my…
Hi All- Here is my Twine! Please copy this into your browser to access! www.people.iup.edu/frnt/winarbrathwaite.html Please let me know what questions/comments you have.
Hi All- I’ve been creative! I created a Twine using Kamau Brathwaite’s Middle Passages poem “The Sahell of Donatello” – I created it after our discussion today in hopes of finding another way to slow down and experience the text with some intertexutal elements. I can’t seem to publish it on here so will post a…
Perlof explains that Kenneth Goldsmith discovers reporting on the “’truth’…may be the biggest ‘fiction’ of all” and I agree this is similar to the way nonfiction writers take “creative leniency” when dealing with various elements of a work. For example, like Goldsmith, it is difficult to pinpoint everything precisely and meticulously the way an interviewer…
One Overall Question YOUR INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE: How does the interactive nature of the medium shape your relationship with the poetic verse? Do you think the artifacts you are able to investigate provide a spatial and emotional depth that mere words may not be able to create? Linking Question using And by Islands & In…
This experience is mapped on a larger scale. It is difficult at first to orient yourself and I think that is Carpenter’s purpose. She wants you to look around and be curious. Curious like a tourist, who travels and investigates things that are seemingly innocuous and boring in their own world, but “foreign” and unique…
Entre Ville: According to the eLit website, at the core of Carpenter’s Entre Ville is the relationship within her city, “‘an intimacy born of proximity.’” She claims poetry can be found within the city’s fences, avenues, and homes, and that there is a language within her city that is beyond the spoken word but encompasses all…
Cecilia Vicuana I believe poetry is transformed, often mutated or even resurrected through the act of performance in various ways. The most basic would be the way an author reads a selection from their polished novel or book of poems. What is experiential about a reading like that is the life the…
Response to: David Antin. What Am I Doing Here. How Wide is the frame? I believe understanding both the medium and mode in reviewing Antin’s work is vital here, and the initial exposure made me think of two things. First, improvisation, known to be a sign of great talent and intellect in Italy throughout the Renaissance, is…
