Poetastic Wants Your Poetry Video Recording

Poetastic is a new poetry website curating “transformative video recordings of poetry readings.” The video submissions are of reciters reading and recording themselves reciting other people’s poetry, transforming meaning for the listener/viewer.

Poetastic is a project created by Harrod J Suarez, Assistant Professor of English at Oberlin College, but in terms of this project, it “is best understood as a category comprised of a legion of collaborators, contributors, and co-conspirators.” Submissions are accepted on a rolling deadline.

Poetastic provides guidelines for recording as well as resources for finding poems to read and record. Participants must be at least 18 years old.
