"An Introduction to Magical Poetics" - An Oral History Projectby Public History Certificate student Robert Eric Shoemaker In Summer 2020 Shoemaker interviewed poets and scholars who consider their work to be in line with magical, esoteric, or occult poetry and poetics. The interviews have been transcribed and will be catalogued and made available to the public through Naropa University's archive, which is a repository for experimental poetry and poetics. Shoemaker then created a podcast introduction to magical poetics. The following sample focuses on Sylvia Plath's occult poetry through the oral history of Julia Gordon-Bramer, a Plath scholar and poet. |
