Poetry Off the Page: Intersecting Practices and Traditions in British Poetry Performance

The Special Collection 'Poetry Off the Page: Intersecting Practices and Traditions in British Poetry Performance' explores the dynamic ways in which contemporary poetry performance in Britain has intersected with, crossed genres and transformed established forms of British performance practice and traditions. It promotes and publishes scholarly research that applies contemporary methodologies and theoretical approaches in order to examine poetry performance as cultural activism and social practice; poetry performance as critical methodology and theoretical lens; the interaction between poetry performance and technology; the impact and aesthetics of sound, body and voice; and the role of audience, location and sociopolitical context(s) in spoken word performances.
