come one, come all...

We have a brief but intense agenda over the three days of Geoconference 2, and we hope to make our events well worth attending: three evenings of spoken word, poetry video, and discussions with practicing artists. Geoconference is a great place to network and make new friends, and expand your understanding of poetry in new media.

publishing the voice - 17 August

Our first night is dedicated to spoken word - the aural dimension that lifts language from dead media and puts it in the public ear. We'll have live performances followed by a round-table on spoken word in radio, audio CD, and the web. What are the consequences to poetry once the voice is published?

visible literatures - 18 August

Our second night is dedicated to language and the visual arts, notably video and film. We'll screen poetry videos from Europe, the USA, and Canada. And we'll discuss the evolution of the visual poetry genres.

celebratory dinner - 19 August

Our third night is a kind of communion, a feast for the mind and the body at a dinner that will celebrate Geoconference 2 and its attendees, served as a family-style South Asian banquet... tandoori chicken, nan, sag paneer, and all the trimmings.
