The digital humanities have experienced tremendous growth within the last decade, mostly in context of developing computational tools that support what is called distant reading - collecting and analyzing huge amounts textual data for synoptic evaluation. On other end spectrum a practice at heart traditional humanities, close careful, in-depth analysis single text order to extract, engage, even generate as much productive meaning possible. true value computation still very an open question....
Abstract In this paper, we present a user‐centered design study on poetry visualization. We develop rule‐based solution to address the conflicting needs for maintaining flexibility of visualizing large set poetic variables and reducing tedium cognitive load in interacting with visual mapping control panel. adopt Munzner's nested model maintain high‐level interactions end users closed loop. addition, examine three options alleviating difficulty poems latitudinally. several example uses...
For the past two years, researchers from visualization community and digital humanities have come together at IEEE VIS conference to discuss how both disciplines can work push research goals in their respective disciplines. In this paper, we present our experiences as a result of collaboration.
“Is the American Sonnet Black” traces history of Black poetry in United States from 18th Century forward, beginning with Phillis Wheatly and ending Terrance Hayes. It makes case that work by poets has been not only present but essential to development our understanding how all must position themselves simultaneously as outsiders insiders their tradition. In cases those whose bodies (by virtue gender and/or race) mark them visibly culturally “outsiders,” this positioning is more difficult...
Visualizing time series is a ubiquitous aspect of many applications from science to business. The conventional designs line graphs and temporal parallel coordinates plots focus on the depiction context, but typically fail convey spatial information associated with data values at each step. In this paper, we present study design space for reintroducing context plots. We consider range options, color encoding glyph encoding, abstract illustration realistic representation, interactive brushing...
Under a grant funded by the NEH in US and AHRC, ESRC, JISC UK, we are collaborating with computer scientists to create digital poetry visualization tools for fellow creative writers literary scholars, beginning sonic patterns moving on first more abstract figural constructs such as images metaphors then relationships among poems. Like other humanities teams, aim develop software that will help readers recognize analyze poems aids close readings eventually larger scholarly inquiries. What...
A great many successful poets earn their living as members of the university community. While teaching, research and administration can provide a reasonable reliable income, it has an impact not only on how much time is available for writing, but also what sorts thinking emerge; ways in which relationships responsibilities intertwine, to find balance competing priorities. In this conversation between two poet academics, Jen Katharine talk through own experiences, grounded scholarly thinking,...

This lyric/scholarly meditation engages perception and vision in both the scientific personal senses of words, with an eye particular on how lenses we use for seeing (both such instruments as microscopes, telescopes, spectacles one hand constructions like theories hermeneutics other) not only enable us to perceive what is beyond but also shape sometimes distort perceive. The essay considers creative works, narrative lyric writings, operate at once by which perceptions are communicated tools...
I am known to walk a lot by modern standards, on most days for seven or more miles. Fitness isn’t the point, at least not all of it. Walking spins ideas free; its rhythm puts me in touch with myself, and distance travel reminds always loose planet. Setting pace, sallying forth, me, mind comprising as it does every part body, heart, which tells frightened love before know ask. The sensory organs—skin, eyes, ears—fire information constantly. Synthesised brought language brain, that creates an...
This lyric essay champions the value of distraction, especially in context creative work, an age obsessed with focus and attention. Using personal anecdotes close reading, piece examines both hazards benefits allowing our attention to be diverted, by inner lives.

From 2012 to 2017, I Collaborated with the Visualization Scientists Miriah Meyer and Nina Mccurdy Poet Julie Gonnering Lein develop Poemage, a computational tool that identifies visualizes complex sonic relationships in poems. The scientists sought problems would allow them breakthrough strategies, frameworks, or paradigms. I, poets, realizing much digital humanities research at time was driven by technology desire extract data from texts, remained committed engaging qualitative, aesthetic,...
