Although European poetry is traditionally associated with textual media, with the amplification of the meaning of the written word for an audience and the use of voice, body, technology etc. we are witnessing the development of elements that tend to conserve the text. Performance poetry is a very interesting type of authorial interpretation; sometimes it may even be the source of the work (e.g. slam poetry). The presentation of poetry doesn’t have to be a boring reading to a solemn audience – it can range from the ‘total’ interaction of all present to an acoustic-physical artefact in a space.
