Poetry

Abstract

These pieces of COVID-19 poetry in their pixelated form follow McLuhan’s playful use and misuse of the phonetic English language. They contribute to media ecology a continued poetic exploration into how our blurry presences in physical and digital spaces engender our landscapes at varying degrees and levels of experience. Through poetic exploration of this envirusment, I invoke the inherently insufficient and terminally playful qualities of language; both enabling and disabling our dualistic experiential accounts of proximity, relations and visceral corporeality in present-COVID. Depending on which dimension readers interpretatively focus on while reading, their own unique personal frame will guide their own unique translation.
