New book
Poetry in the Digital Age: An Interdisciplinary Handbook, edited by 
Claudia Benthien, Vadim Keylin and Henrik Wehmeier (

As a multifaceted and intermedial phenomenon, poetry in the digital age 
not only demands a rethinking and expansion of the traditional paradigms 
of literary studies but also attracts increasing attention from other 
humanities. This interdisciplinary handbook is thus addressed both to 
literary scholars and to the broadest academic audience interested in 
contemporary poetry research. It offers 50 contributions by an 
international collective of authors that highlight the diversity of 
contemporary poetry, examining it from a wide variety of complementing 
theoretical and methodological angles.

The handbook focuses on contemporary modes of poetry presentation that 
are often located beyond the book, e.g., on stages, in public spaces, as 
multi- as well as transmedia publications, or on digital platforms. Such 
intermedial poetic practices, which may supplement poetic language with 
elements borrowed from music, visual art, cinema, or theater and 
performance, are transforming the forms and functions of poetry. It four 
parts thus (1) adapt established concepts and parameters of poetry 
research to the digital age, (2) explore established genres and emerging 
formats, (3) introduce interdisciplinary perspectives and new research 
fields, and (4) engage in current debates.
