Research Interests:

My research project explores contemporary poetic practices that move across genres, art forms, media & languages, where textual, sonic, visual & haptic aspects of reading & writing intermingle & raise questions of signification, identity & belonging.

My research interests include:

• Contemporary poetry & sound poetry
• Crossovers between literature/poetry, visual art & sound art
• Use of new media in contemporary poetry
• Translingual/transnational writing
• Sound studies
• Text, sound & poetry in avant-garde movements

Previous Research Projects:

During my Master’s I primarily focused on poetic & textual developments in 20th century avant-garde movements. I wrote my dissertation on Marcel Broodthaers’s reworking of Mallarmé’s Un Coup de dés using the work as an entry into a discussion of textual modernity.
