Her academic books include\u00a0Muriel Rukeyser and Documentary: The Poetics of Connection<\/em>\u00a0(Edinburgh UP, 2013),\u00a0Mixed Messages: American Correspondences in Visual and Verbal Practices<\/em>\u00a0(Manchester UP, 2016), and\u00a0The Edinburgh Companion to Don DeLillo and the Arts<\/em>\u00a0(forthcoming 2023). She is currently working on a book under contract with Cambridge UP called\u00a0Extending the Document:<\/em>\u00a0Contemporary Transmedial Poetics\u00a0<\/em>(2024) and editing, with Stefania Heim, a hybrid book of critical and creative pieces called\u00a0Beyond Ourselves: Contemporary Poets on Muriel Rukeyser<\/em>.<\/p>\n Abstract. This talk takes as its starting point Muriel Rukeyser’s dictum that ‘poetry can extend the document’ to consider poetry that works in a documentary vein to materialise language in various ways, often via visual, installation, and conceptual art.\u00a0\u00a0Employing the \u2018trans\u2019 prefix to allow for relation, passage and transformation, and understanding \u2018medium\u2019 (singular of \u2018media\u2019)\u00a0as carrying a fluctuating arrangement of meanings, including a \u201cmaterial or mode of creative expression\u201d; \u201ca channel of communication\u201d, and \u201cone\u2019s environment, conditions of life, or social setting\u201d (OED), I am interested in the reciprocal, radical, resistive, and above all, communal aspects of such work.\u00a0As example, I discuss the work of the Oglala Lakota writer and artist Layli Long Soldier. I make a case for\u00a0how her poetry and artworks\u00a0adapt documentary poetry\u2019s formal and aesthetic techniques\u2014parataxis, quotation, collage, and more\u2014and adhere to its largely Leftist political ideology to open a space between materiality and imagination, extending the document to\u00a0an affective and epistemological realm that works between and beyond verbal and visual textualities.<\/p>\n
