Poetry SchoolHow much should a poet work outside their comfort zone? What can the writer learn by using other art forms – other than their own – to express themselves? And, with increasing access to the internet and the ability to work together real time, should the poet collaborate with other writers as much as they write alone?
Sam Riviere, author of the Forward Prize-winning 81 Austerities, has worked alongside video makers, sound artists and pitted his wits against other poets on numerous occasions. Sam will coming to CAMPUS this Friday to talk to our current Digital Poet in Residence, Alex MacDonald, about these experiences and how writing in a hyper-networked age of mass communication and social media effects a poet’s work. He’ll also be here to answer any questions you might have, from what his influences are to even what brand of pencils he uses (possibly).
Title: ‘Even if it’s Just to Talk: The poet as collaborator’, with Sam Rivere and Alex MacDonald
Date: Friday 7 March 2014, 3pm GMT
