Founded by Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine in 2019, Voice of Verse is a poetry preservation project with the aim to build an online inventory of Hong Kong poets’ sounds. The team recorded the readings of Hong Kong poets from different generations in a professional studio and upload both the readings and the texts of their poems along with visual artists’ works to the Voice of Verse website, disseminating Hong Kong poetry in a hybrid format. The curator, Dr. Keith Liu, will present this project, sharing his experiences from conceptualization to implementation, and the goal of poetry conservation through the utilization of network technologies.
Dr. Keith Liu is a poet, the editor-in-chief of Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine, and the director of Musical Stone Publishing.
The event–to be conducted in Cantonese–is free of charge and open to all. Registration required.
