Abstract:
The speech technologies of the digital age make everything speak – from 
voice assistants and GPS navigators to streaming media. The dissociation 
of voice and speech from the speaker and the situation of speaking 
engendered by this condition imbues the ages-old question of lyric 
theory “Who speaks?” with renewed salience. This book investigates 
digital oral poetry – an artform that explores the modes of oral speech 
facilitated and conditioned by digital technologies and digital culture, 
foregrounding the selves that are performed and constructed in the 
speaking act. Practices of digital oral poetry run across the boundaries 
between institutionally recognised forms of art and poetry, pop culture 
and participatory culture online. They may include poetry performed in 
synthesised or deep-faked voices, AI-generated performance poetry, 
intersections of poetry and ASMR videos or audioliterary memes such as 
Autotune stories to name a few examples. Through a series of case 
studies, the book offers a (post-)phenomenological examination of the 
contemporary digitally-inflected forms of subjectivity as they manifest 
in digital oral poetry.
