Media poetry becomes a complex power of 'Sense' by blending conventional mass-media codes with poetic simulations that provide alternative forms of creating meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePoetic Acts \u0026amp; New Media\u003c\/i\u003e specifically examines the works of several poets that exemplify this multi-sensory approach to printed-text poetry, especially:\u003cbr\u003e·Langston Hughes\u003cbr\u003e·Tony Medina\u003cbr\u003e·David Wojahn\u003cbr\u003e·John Kinsella\u003cbr\u003e·David Trinidad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt also analyzes several contemporary films that embody the multi-modal logic of media poetry:\u003cbr\u003e·David Lynch's \u003ci\u003eMullholland Drive\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e·Cameron Crowe's \u003ci\u003eVanilla Sky\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e·Spike Jonze's \u003ci\u003eBeing John Malkovich\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, this study interprets two influential primetime TV shows as exemplars of media poetry: \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e.
