Iconicity and Typography in Steve McCaffery's Panel-Poems
2007
This paper discusses Steve McCaffery's "Panel-Poems", first realized in the 1960s, with respect to the international context of concrete poetry and the emergence of a poetics of iconicity amongst a North-American avant-garde in the second half of the twentieth century. The material emphasis of McCaffery's poetry is played out typographically in his work "Carnival" (1967-75) through procedures that place the letter, the smallest denominator of language and the page in newly imagined networks of signification. The experiment with the environment of writing is sustained by a reliance upon the typewriter and other forms of scription that conceive of the reader as an active participant in the cr…
Hugh MacDiarmid’s Poetics of Commitment: the Modern Stigmata of Bereavement
2016
In the 1930s, the lingering absence of God and of a stable reality engulfed the work of the poet Hugh MacDiarmid, leader of the Scottish Renaissance Movement. To counter this void, like many others at the time, MacDiarmid found refuge in communism and nationalism and started to write political and idealist poetry. In his poems, his political idealism comes into being in the association of reality and ideal, symbolised first by Jean and Sophia, the characters of A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle (1926), and duplicated later in the fantasised image of Lenin, perfect blending of idea and action. Rejecting Sartre’s denial of the political effect poetry can have, the violence of MacDiarmid’s work…
Rinse, Repeat. Paratextual Poetics of Literary Twitter Collage Retweeted
2019
This essay studies what happens to the poetics of a text that was first written on or for a certain internet platform when it is later copy-pasted to a different literary medium – that of an edited and printed book. The main target of the discussion is Finnish author Karri Kokko’s conceptual literary work Retweeted (2016), a print-on-demand book, the roots of which are firmly in both the traditions of print media and the digital interfaces of the social media platform Twitter. The analysis pays close attention to the medial qualities of both Twitter and the conceptual novel that draws material from it. The essay aims to highlight the poetic qualities of the material produced and circulated …

Caitrìona O’Reilly : From ecopoetry to ontopoetics
2022
Caitrìona O'Reilly's poetry is remarkable for its attention to the natural world, to fauna, flora, the four elements and landscapes; for its keen sense of nature's superior and mysterious beauty ("Atlantic", "Octopus", "Six Landscapes", "Bee on Agastache") but also fragility ("Polar", "Iceland"). Without question, it can be described as "ecopoetry". I will explore the fundamentals of O’Reilly’s "eco-conscious" and scholarly work, and show how, in her work, "ecopoetry" amounts to "ontopoetics", which is to be understood as "poetics of being". The natural world captured poetically by Caitrìona O'Reilly is a "perceived" world, i.e. a world seen, observed, felt, touched, heard by a subject. The…
Faktan ja fiktion rajamailla : kaunokirjallisen journalismin poetiikka suomalaisissa aikakauslehdissä
2009
Maria Lassila-Merisalo kartoitti väitöstutkimuksessaan suomalaista kaunokirjallista journalismia, joka perustuu faktapohjaisen materiaalin esittämiseen fiktiolle tyypillisten kerrontakeinojen avulla. Hän havaitsi, että lajin kriteerit täyttävää journalismia on harjoitettu maassamme hyvinkin mainitsemisen arvoisesti, mutta ei kovin yhtenäisesti saati organisoidusti. Lajityyppi tunnetaankin heikosti.- Esimerkkejä kaunokirjallisesta journalismista voi löytää vaikkapa Helsingin Sanomien Kuukausiliitteestä tai sanomalehtien sunnuntaisivuilta, Lassila-Merisalo kertoo.Kaunokirjallisen journalismin elkeitä ilmestyi suomalaisiin lehtiin Lassila-Merisalon mukaan 1900-luvun taitteessa, ensimmäisten re…
