Session Information
Description: Panelists explore the poetics and technologies of lineation in texts across centuries (late-medieval to contemporary) and languages (English, Latin, and Arabic), asking how lines make poems legible, constitute boundaries like "traditional" or "free," display textu(r)al performances, and encode a poem's futurity, as well as what a poetics of lines of code might look like. How do we see and hear and read a line break then and now?
