The text on the graphic reads, "Repurposed Poetry: 'The more we ‘journey’ back and forth, the stronger the synapses and associated memories tied to the journeying become.' by Matthew Lear, Landhaus Fellow." Background image credit: Activedia from Free Photos.
"'In poetry, repurposed text can prompt us to journey between scales of time and perspective—to bridge texts and contexts—becoming more aware of connections between past and present conditions. The more we ‘journey’ back and forth, the stronger the synapses and associated memories tied to the journeying become. This is especially useful for writing about a shifting environment, changing on slow and sudden, small and vast scales. In constellating these various scales of environmental change, repurposing as a literary technique can help gather up a fuller, more dynamic picture of unfolding ecological transformations.' by Matthew Lear, Landhaus Fellow"
Today's #CriticalConcept addresses "Repurposed Poetry" based on the topic of the Luchtime Colloquium "Repurposed Poetics: Rewriting Environmental Change in the Pacific" by Matthew Lear.
