Asian Studies, BTTI, the Division of Languages & Literature, Experimental Humanities, Japanese, and Literature present Presents

Expanding Verse: Japanese Poetry at the Edge of Media

This talk will draw from the just-published book, Expanding Verse, and look at experimental poetic practice in Japan over the last hundred years, focusing on poetry in engagement with cinema in the 1920s and Augmented Reality poetry in the 2010s. Drawing together approaches from literary, media, and disability studies, we will consider how poets push back against the new media technologies of their day, find new possibilities at the edge of media, and in so doing challenge dominant conceptions of both who counts as a poet, and what counts as poetry.
