Our handbook is now available. Poetry in the Digital Age: An Interdisciplinary Handbook, edited by Claudia Benthien, Vadim Keylin, and Henrik Wehmeier, contains 50 contributions from internationally renowned scholars and represents the state of the art in interdisciplinary poetry research.

This book is the fifth volume in the series Poetry in the Digital Age published with the De Gruyter publishing house. It is now freely available in open access and can also be purchased as a print copy at https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111561356/html

The articles in the handbook’s four parts (1) adapt established concepts and parameters of poetry research to the digital age, (2) explore established genres and emerging formats, (3) introduce interdisciplinary perspectives and new research fields, and (4) engage in current debates. Half of the contributions were written by PoetryDA researchers and our research fellows. This makes it one of the most fundamental and important research outcomes of the project.
