Publisher's Synopsis

This book examines the evolving medial entanglements between poetry, music, and sound in the digital age, foregrounding the complex interrelations between textuality, vocality, and sonic materiality. Drawing on perspectives from literary sound studies, intermediality theory, and word and music studies, the contributors explore contemporary poetic practices that engage with music and sound beyond conventional musico-literary genres. The phenomena examined here range from recent transformations of traditional oral poetry and the art song to innovative intermedial formats such as poetry audiowalks and spoken music. The book highlights the impact of digital technologies on musico-poetic forms, tracing how contemporary practices challenge traditional genre boundaries and reconfigure listening as an integral component of poetic experience. By bridging historical perspectives with emerging sound cultures, this collection offers new insights into the mediality of poetry and its intersections with music and sound art.
