Poetry Matrix
ARCHITECTURE / LANDSCAPE / LITERATURE
The initial stages of the vendors of poetic phenomena project examined a representative sample of poetry about New York City with the intention of extracting contextual insights that were specific to the city. A process of reading, analyzing and sorting all poems published in English about New York City revealed repeated themes or poetic phenomena. The matrix makes visual the process of analysis and selection.
