Jo Shapcott: poetry and technology

This is a really short clip, where Jo Shapcott discusses the future of poetry and technology. I think she's absolutely correct in believing that technology really 'opens horizons' of traditional poetry. No longer to people have to hear poetry, or be in opposition to poetry. Furthermore, traditional writers do not need to fear the 'spiky' ideas of technology. The idea that poetry has to be directly connected to old-fashioned ways of ink and paper is long gone. There is now more opportunities for people to publish all types of works in an instant! This really does open up the door for more people to engage in poetry for fun, for therapeutic reasons, and for the love of poetic expression. She also really briefly addresses the use time delay, and text movement as new techniques that poets can now use. Poems are now taken out of traditional books, and deepened online!
