How do other arts affect poetry’s shapes, forms, and textures? Since writing doesn’t occur in a vacuum, how do visual and audial media, as well as technological interactivity, change our poetic responses? This panel will bring together writers who will discuss the influence of artistic mediums outside of poetry, as well as how their engagement in other artistic practices colors how they approach language. All writers included have acted as publishers, editors, distributors, and/or book designers. The conversation will focus on why panelists embrace multimedia strategies in creating work, as well as how they exhibit text. Art forms discussed will include, but not be limited to, cinema, music, video games, graphic design, painting, and fashion, and the interrelationality between these modes and poetry.
