Poetry Forum

Poetry. The "pl'em" - or "play poem" - consists of dialogue, speech, and soliloquy. The pl'em is to poetry what the graphic novel is to fiction. Text and images are equally essential. A pl'em may be read, as a poem is read, but it may also be performed. In this work Judith Hall and David Lehman combine the solitary reverie of reading with the stimulus of spectacle. Poetry Forum is about what happens on the way to a poetry forum. It replaces the typically dry proceedings of a public interview. Poetry Forum raises important questions on poetry, writing, solitude, and the cult of personality. The questions are irreverently explored and finally uncompromisingly unanswered.Hall, Judith is the author of 'Poetry Forum', published 2007 under ISBN 9781896209791 and ISBN 1896209793.
