520 "Throughout the twentieth-century and into the twenty-
first poetry has seemingly taken an increasingly
insignificant role in our culture as radio, film,
television, and the internet have become dominant. Mike
Chasar challenges this conventional wisdom by arguing that
poetry isn't dying, dead, or marginalized, but rather that
it has gone off the page where its cultural impact can be
seen in the histories of the magic lantern, radio, film,
and television. Audiences haven't vanished but the ways we
experience and encounter poetry have changed. Mass and non
-print media haven't stolen poetry's audiences but have
opened up audiences to more types of poetry in more media
formats. Moreover, new media has not only changed the way
people experience poems but poetry helps and continues to
broker and secure the place of emergent media in American
culture. Beginning with the magic lantern and continuing
through to the emergence of the internet and karaoke,
Chasar examines the ways in which poetry was integrated
with and employed by new media. He shows how the magic
lantern went from a medium used primarily to frighten
audiences to one that used poetry in schools and religious
setting. He also considers how early cinema drew on poetry
to legitimize itself as an art form and then how directors
would turn to poetry in films to turn the act of solitary
reading of poetry in a dramatic moment in which viewers
experience the poem in a new context and how movies
demonstrate their superior capabilities as a "poetry-
reading machine." Chasar's book allows us to understand
the history of poetry's reception and its place in
American culture and media that moves beyond the book and
takes on new lives and meanings via emergent technologies"
