More visceral than conceptual, this year’s symposium will gather poets for whom the stage and all of its demands, such as voice, projection, sound effects, lighting, body movement, acting, propsm, and image, all help create a new syntactic breadth for the poetic voice. These poets will be pressing into new territories in theater and song and film, performing, in many cases, original never-seen-before work for the Poetry Center. In addition, the Poetry Center also offers exhibits featuring poets working in the visual arts, with exhibits by Cecilia Vicuña, Danielle Vogel, and Jeff Clark.
