Brutiful. Writing Poetry with Dogs
November 17th - 19th
Fringe programme to events in the Klangraum KremsMinoritenkirche.
The poet and philosopher Mara-Daria Cojocaru worked with an international team to develop multispecies poetry, where animal agency was translated into poetic co-authorship. The focus is on developing the creative aspect of poetry as well as a critique of the power imbalance between humans and animals. Mara-Daria Cojocaru writes: “On the one hand, they [the team] will copy specific forms and patterns that characterize the participating dogs and use these to produce visual poetry on historical texts on domestication, dog training, breeds and husbandry via erasures and superimpositions. On the other hand, they will work to catch what seems so similar for poetry and scent – the importance of high concentration, the evocation of meaning and memory – in poems that will have olfactory elements.”
The results were first presented in February 2023 in London and will now be on display during the European Literature Days 2023.
