About the book
About Poetic Acts & New Media
Poetic Acts & New Media specifically examines the works of several poets that exemplify this multi-sensory approach to printed-text poetry, especially: Langston Hughes, Tony Medina, David Wojahn, John Kinsella, David Trinidad. It also analyzes several contemporary films that embody the multi-modal logic of media poetry: David Lynch's Mullholland Drive, Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky, Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich. In addition, this study interprets two influential primetime TV shows as exemplars of media poetry: Twin Peaks and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All media poetry, regardless of genre or medium, allows readers/viewers to envision "reality production" as a rewriteable and poetic enterprise that can productively remediate any transparent abstraction or common-sense realism.
