over the past several years I have been developing this poetic theory which I call "experiential poetics". the basic concept is a desire to shift poetry from a form of strictly language to one of sound & experience (in place of or additional to language). a component of this is my own experience with synesthesia, which is a neurological condition where information meant to stimulate one sense (smell for example) stimulates several senses instead. there are many forms of synesthesia, but I most frequently smell & taste colour, hear shapes, & smell & hear feelings. recently I've been thinking about how to create poems of experiences or sensations I've had in the world without "explaining" those experiences in text, & this series of video synesthesia poems is the result.
