"Impure : reinventing the word" compiles interviews with 75 French and English artists from Montreal, as well as New York poet John Giorno, in the first comprehensive examination of the theory and practice of 'spoken word'. Drawing on the polyglot word culture of one of North America's most hybrid cities, this book taps the wisdom of activists, griots, dub poets, publishers, performance artists, storytellers, musicians, and slam poets. The reader will discover : - how Quebec nationalism and the FLQ crisis had an impact on the francophone poetry scene. - videopoems, poetry postcards, dance poetry and the Vehicule Poets. - how French and English, American and British rock 'n roll poets collided at the Ultimatum Festivals in the eighties. - how francophone and anglophone artists influence one another onstage and interact behind the scenes. - how 'spoken word' is - or isn't - like literature, theatre, stand-up comedy, publishing or singing. - that it is impossible for the artists included here to agree on what their practice should even be called. "Impure" is divided into three main sections. The first examines the theoretical implications of this medium, as seen by the artists themselves. The second, a sort of How-To guide, deals with the practical mechanics of bringing text to the stage. The third is an oral history of the practice in Montreal from the sixties to the present day. Together, these three sections serve as an invaluable resource for those interested in the medium which has single-handedly revitalized poetry for a new generation.
