Tracks the unlikely collaboration between experimental poets and experimental linguists that gave rise to the earliest collections of poets’ voices.
In the period immediately following the invention of sound recording, who first had the idea to record, collect and study the voices of poets? The Poetic Record tells the story of voice collectors and poets working together to preserve this important dimension of sonic, musical and literary history. The book examines the varying relationships between recordists of sound (early record labels, linguists) and performed poetry and historicises the contemporary practice of collecting, archiving and interpreting literary audio.
