‘Language is à virus’: trends in current sound poetry

Abstract

This article gives an account of the cycle “Language is à virus”, curated by Martin Bakero and Felipe Cussen, which brought together various international poets, artists and musicians linked to sound poetry through the Zoom platform between April 2020 and April of 2021. In the 52 meetings that made up this cycle, various works were presented and commented on, which gave rise to different reflections that have been summarized and analyzed here, which allow access to a broad and transversal view of current sound poetry.
