  Poetry - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does.
A further complication is that prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose.
In pre-literate societies, poetry was frequently employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, law and other forms of expression or knowledge that modern societies might expect to be handled in prose.

 Performance poetry   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Performance poetry is poetry that is specifically composed for or during performance before an audience.
This kind of poetry was common through the Middle Ages in, for instance, the work of the troubadors and travelling bards who went from one noble's court or house to another singing or reciting their works in order to earn their living.
The public performance of poetry became generally restricted, at least in a European context, to the staging of plays in verse and occasionally, for example in the cases of the Elizabethan madrigalists or Robert Burns, as texts for singing.

 U B U W E B :: Dick Higgins on Sound Poetry
The folk roots of sound poetry may be seen in the lyrics of certain folk songs, such as the Horse Songs of the Navajos or in the Mongolian materials collected by the Sven Hedin expedition.
In written literature, by contrast, most of the sound poetry fragments are brief, onomatopoetic imitations of natural or other sounds, for example the "Brekekex ko-ax ko-ax" of the frogs in Aristophanes' drama, or the "jug jug jugs" of the birds among the Elizabethans.
Thus, for the sound poet certainly and probably for the audience as well, the creation or perception of a work as sound poetry has to do with questions of meaning and experience which are not essentially musical.

 Idiophonics (Natural Sounds) in Early Japanese Women's Poetry: An Introduction
(2) Flapping or shaking -- such as the sound of the flapping wings (aif 152 K) of a bird or butterfly or the shaking of ice from a grebe's wings.
In the same way all Japanese poetry retains the memory of a long tradition of classical sights and sounds, which are meant to suggest themselves to the mind of the reader even if they are not described.
In fact the presence of sounds in their poems might be compared to sacred music, since what is heard is always meant to be understood in the context of a deeper listening, that is, in the context of an enlightened and compassionate awareness.

In sound poetry the conventional hierarchy between sound sense and semantic sense is modulated and often reversed.

 Interview with andy weaver by Amatoritsero ede   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I think, in general, all of sound poetry shares a frustration with the way we use language in western society—language is thought of as a vehicle to transmit information, and few people think of language as anything other than a tool of logic.
Sound poetry, like Dada, dismisses logic; the argument seems to be that logic has become so powerful that it is the only way we relate to the world, which means that other ways, such as the emotions, are almost completely dismissed.
I think that contextualizing sound poetry historically helps to explain its dismissal of logic; sound poetry and Dada appear shortly after World War One, which was viewed as the result of logic and its offshoots (international politics, nationalism, etc.).

Throughout the long history of poetry from the Egyptians to the present, poets have generally not made up their own verse forms, but squeezed what they had to say into pre-existing models.

 sound
In poetry, however, the sound comes from the arrangement of the words themselves, and the effect is not from the sound of the words alone, but from the interaction between the sound and the meaning.
How is the sound of poetry produced?--partly by the sounds of the words and by the meter, partly by the natural rhythm of language with its longer and shorter pauses.
Other generalities of more or less value could be made about sound in poetry, but these are probably enough to show that a line of poetry, even considered in terms of sound alone, is a very complex organism in which every word, every syllable, every individual sound plays a part.

 Sound Poetry - fmsbwtözäu!
Sound Poetry – the most exclusive of exclusive art forms – has through the decades been belched out of a number of exceptional, tobacco saturated organs of speech, who have been slurping and chewing the phonetic candies of language, spitting them out in cascades of consonant staccatos and pleasure-seeking vocal eroticisms.
Sound Poetry as an art form might origin in the need for a kind of psychoanalytic regression into pre-language, base-biological, pre-conscious sound experiences down in the soil out of which language and its flashing, glistening symbolism grow, only to, for the most part, stiffen in habits and conventions.
Sound Poetry may therefore, maybe, serve as a cleansing process, a proper swabbing of the deck, a proper airing out of aged trains of thought that clogs up the air vents and ventilation shafts of the catacombs of the subconscious.

 Poetry.org - What is Poetry
Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content.
By contrast, the chief device of Biblical poetry in ancient Hebrew was parallelism, a rhetorical structure in which successive lines reflected each other in grammatical structure, sound structure, notional content, or all three; a verse form that lent itself to antiphonal or call- and-response performance.
In preliterate societies, poetry was frequently employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, law and other forms of expression or knowledge that modern societies might expect to be handled in prose.

Sound Poetry in the UK When Bob Cobbing suggested that we should aspire to birdsong I don’t think he meant that we should actually sing like birds but rather we should adopt the same attitude they have towards the making of sounds.

Poetry readings by sound poets at this time were characterised by the poet arriving to announce the name of the piece.
