The
Internet Poetry Archive
Marianne Goyette and Kendra Finn
In our project we plan to research the evolution of poetry Internet
sites.
We would like to discuss how poetry has changed as an art medium
and how due to its transformation it has influenced other art
forms such as music and film.
The Internet poetry now makes accessible literature that was
impossible for people to obtain. (even the ancient writings of
religious groups)
Part
of the research will include the following:
- visit many different poetry related sites.
- Interact with the sites
- e-mail poets and ask them their opinions
about this evolution
- e-mail authors, publishers and others
related to the process of poetry making
- research the spoken word revival and
slams
- collect data on universities influences
in educating people about poetry
- creation of cd- roms and other vehicles
related to internet activity
This abstract is a loosely formed concept
and we are confident that our research will create more detailed
analysis.
We would like to create a Director piece
or some other kind of interactive/visual means to illustrate
our knowledge.
