    Poetry Off the Page: Symposium Exhibits University of Arizona Poetry Center Poetry Off the Page: Symposium Exhibits Presented by University of Arizona Poetry Center at University of Arizona Poetry Center April 9-May 31, 2012 More visceral than conceptual, this year's symposium will gather poets for whom the stage and all of its demands, such as voice, projection, sound effects, lighting, body movement, acting, props, and image, all help create a new syntactic breadth for the poetic voice. These poets will be pressing into new territories in theater and song and film, performing, in many cases, original never-seen-before work for the Poetry Center.

    Artistexts: Curated by Johanna Drucker University of Arizona Poetry Center Artistexts: Curated by Johanna Drucker Presented by University of Arizona Poetry Center at University of Arizona Poetry Center April 2-June 29, 2012 Internationally renowned author, book artist, and visual theorist Johanna Drucker has selected more than 20 artist books created in a deliberate dialogue between design and writing. These artistexts explore how poetics and production change across the spaces of a distributed textual system, emerging as palimpsests, recombinations, excisions, swarms, unfoldings, and turnings.
