Reviews

"""Listening Up, Writing Down, and Looking Beyond is a compelling read will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of literature and orature, life- writing and historiography, mixed-media writing and performance poetry."" - Milena Marinkova, University of Huddersfield, British Journal for Canadian Studies, Vol.27 No.1 2014 ``The essays in Susan Gingell's and Wendy Roy's Listening Up, Writing Down, and Looking Beyond shake [the] simplistic binary [of the oral/written divide] to its very core, theorizing the inevitable interdependency of sound, sign, sight, and site.... Often employing language alive with poetic energy, what I will term the essays within Listening Up trouble the sensory depletion expected of standard academic prose while exploring âthree thematic arcs: performance poetics, print textualizations of the oral, and the place of visual culture at the oral-written interfaceâ.... Multimodal movement ... occurs with disarming and delightful frequency in the essays that coalesce to make Listening Up an extraordinarily valuable addition to the study of orality, performance poetry, textualization, and multisensory embodied experience.'' -- Sam McKegney, Queen's University -- Chimo, #64, Fall 2012 ``This collection breaks important new ground in the use of âorality and literacyâ approaches to discourse and poetics. Particularly valuable is its constant integration of scholarly criticism and theory with creative practice, theoretical reflection with lived experiences of performance and artifact. The Introduction offers a memorable set of clarifications, highly sympathetic to the demands of creative practice, around the theory of orality and literacy, while the chapters bring Gingell and Roy's exposition of the themes to an extremely rich and varied range of applications.'' -- Tom Clark, Victoria University (Melbourne), author of Stay onMessage: Poetry and Truthfulness in Political Speech (2012)"
