Virtuosity: Risk and Excess in Poetic Form - Elements in Poetry and Poetics
Darcy, Ailbhe (Cardiff University)
This Element examines how contemporary poets reimagine virtuosity as a mode of poetic performance. It argues that virtuosity is a strategic choice, one a poet may enter at specific moments, in specific forms, to heighten the reader's experience. Certain forms are virtuosic, inviting expectations of difficulty, display, and compositional drama.
