We Have Fires.
Cutting together short movies from old footage (mine; public domain) is a stress-relief exercise for me, like improvising music. During the pandemic, I moderated workshops for poetry, including a series for poets who work in adult entertainment, and I did a short series of lessons on sound and video editing for poets who were lamenting a lack of in-person readings/broadcast quality on Zoom and other platforms. I was surprised to find state & city poet laureates attending the latter, and we did some fun things with color, contrast, editing in corrections, doubling up or altering voices digitally.
There is no reason for poetry to remain static or to devalue or reject technological assistance. In-person live reading is no more integral to poem than the affected poet-voice of students and the poorly-trained. Just do stuff.
The essence of poetry might be doing stuff. Stuff and its doing.
Arthur Sze, back when, told me something like every word, every phrase in a poem should be able to function as a verb. Inherently doing.
I like the effects of overlayed imagery, of artifacting, static, grain, the residuals of low fidelity. Some do not, and they are free to enjoy or make art which reflects that preference.
Why not?
