Spatial engagement with poetry

"Through the idea of the vocalic space of the poem, alongside the poem 'as' and poem 'of' space, Spatial Engagement with Poetry re-establishes the voice and space as equally important, and necessarily interlinked, elements of poetic production and engagement. The study looks at ideas of space and constructions of voice in poetry through the inherently spatial processes of affective, vocalic, and critical identification and map-making we undergo in the acts of reading and voicing the poem. The study uses a multidisciplinary literary-critical methodology, combining broad attention to literary theory and poetics with the finer details of close reading individual poems. Examples are drawn from a broad range of poets, and particular attention paid to contemporary British poetry"--
