The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is pleased to announce that a new collection – the Irish Film Poetry Archive – has been published in the Repository by researcher James O’Sullivan through University College Cork (UCC).
The collection contains ten ‘film-poems’, described as creative fragments of poetic text or speech accompanied by video and sound. These born digital poems belong to the wider field of digital literature, defined as ‘a first-generation digital object created on a computer and (usually) meant to be read on a computer’. Film-poems are arguably the most common form of digital literature among Irish writers and practitioners. A number of high-profile authors have experimented with film-poetry, including Doireann Ní Ghríofa and Pat Boran.
