Media poetry becomes a complex power of 'Sense' by blending conventional mass-media codes with poetic simulations that provide alternative forms of creating meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePoetic Acts \u0026amp; New Media specifically examines the works of several poets that exemplify this multi-sensory approach to printed-text poetry, especially:\n\u003cbr\u003e·Langston Hughes\n\u003cbr\u003e·Tony Medina\n\u003cbr\u003e·David Wojahn\n\u003cbr\u003e·John Kinsella\n\u003cbr\u003e·David Trinidad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also analyzes several contemporary films that embody the multi-modal logic of media poetry:\n\u003cbr\u003e·David Lynch's Mullholland Drive\n\u003cbr\u003e·Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky\n\u003cbr\u003e·Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, this study interprets two influential primetime TV shows as exemplars of media poetry: Twin Peaks and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All media poetry, regardless of genre or medium, allows readers\/viewers to envision \"reality production\" as a rewriteable and poetic enterprise that can productively remediate any transparent abstraction or common-sense realism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48681330966763,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":95.13,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780761836308-1.jpg?v=1781635961","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9780761836308","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
