The Spanish Civil War occasioned an international outpouring of verse by well-known 1930s poets, such as Langston Hughes, Pablo Neruda, and Stephen Spender, and scores of lesser-known and anonymous ...poets. These writers made use of the war's visual, aural, and print media, poetry itself forming part of a nebula of communication. By considering the "place" of poetry on and off the page, I ask what the world of poetry had to do with the material realities of war, and how the cultural politics of wartime media intersected with the cultural politics of poetic production. Both rhetorically and physically, Spanish Civil War poetry escapes the traditional page due to the ephemeral nature of poetry recited or broadcast, plastered on posters and pamphlets, or printed alongside battlefield photographs. My project surveys an international, multilingual gathering of texts and deploys media studies as a crucial means for understanding them. The poem, just as any other media production, exists in a network of relationships to other media forms and practices, and the historical and cultural ground of Spanish Civil War poetry is as much one of international communications as it is one of war. In short, my project provides a new lens with which to view the role of poetry in wartime, suggesting that it is best comprehended as one facet of a border-crossing multimedia network.

In this article, the author relates the effectiveness of using poetry in his classroom. He relates how students who initially thought poetry as "sappy" have somehow changed their perceptions as they ...begin to learn more about it. Through various poems, these students came to see how poetry can be a catalyst for a provocative inquiry question such as, "What does it mean to be American?" They also learned how poetry could help them communicate important ideas to others, such as the linguistic limits of using "Black" and "White" to describe groups of people. (Contains 1 figure.)

Within the performing arts, the rehearsal process is the forge of the creative act and is essential to the process of performance. Little systematic study has been undertaken concerning either ...process. Using multiple approaches, this study examines the rehearsal process of a modern dance company, Company Chaddick, through the creation of a single work. An ethnographic study entailed observation of rehearsals throughout the process. Additionally a detailed analysis of communication patterns examined channels of communication and spatial orientation during communication. Finally, interviews with the company explored participants' experience of the process. Results of the study indicate that aspects of rehearsal such as play and exploration are essential, both in facilitating the creation of the work and in the process of performance. In the larger context of the performing arts such activities, outside of the literal text or score, may be essential for creating the framework or environment for the performance.
