While previously poetry would usually get to their readers first in print, nowadays it is increasingly common for poems to reach their audience via the digital media, with the (illusory) direct presence of the poet-performer. However, it is that very presence that reduces the reader’s interpretative freedom. Moreover, it radically redefines the traditional model of poetic communication based on the printed word and language as a system of discrete signs. With the mediatization of communication by the new digital media we are faced with a number of fundamental problems concerning the ontology of the intermedia artwork, its effect on the listener and the way it tends to shape the listener’s interpretation. That interpretation will always be different from the semantically oriented understanding of the written/printed text. The challenges posed by this new format and ways of addressing it are discussed in connection with two poetic intermedia projects, Marcin Świetlicki’s Wiersze (autor, lektor i przypadkowe lafiryndy) [Poems (author, reader and casual hussies] (book and 2 CDs, 2022) and Krystyna Miłobędzka and Hanna “Rani” Raniszewska’s ciebie ode mnie [(For) you from me] (book and CD, 2022).}, type={Article}, title={Spectrality of reading: The author’s voice and the boundaries of interpretation}, URL={http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132427/PDF/04_Ruch_Literacki_2023_06.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2023.148324}, keywords={Literature and intermedia, Polish contemporary literature, acousmatic space, sound poetry, poet-performer, ‘total archives’, boundaries of interpretation, Marcin Świetlicki (b. 1961), Krystyna Miłobędzka (b. 1932)}, }
