The Poetic Record by Chris Mustazza
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.
Chris Mustazza is Co-Director of the PennSound Archive, the world’s largest archive of recordings of poets, and he teaches in the English department at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the history of literary audio, sonic media archaeology, and digital analyses of poetry recordings.
