Hosted by the Contemporary Poetics Research Centre (CPRC), Birkbeck College, London & supported by the Electronic Poetry Center (EPC), Department of Media Study & Poetics Program, State University of New York

E-Poetry 2005 is both a conference and festival, dedicated to showcasing the best talent in digital poetry and poetics from around the world. E-Poetry combines both a high-level academic conference and workshop, examining growing trends in this young and emergent art form, with a
festival of the latest and most exciting work from both established and new practitioners.

The festival is scheduled to take place at Birkbeck College, University of London, with performances at the ICA, Tate Modern and other important London venues. There will be
performances by numerous leading digital poets with guest appearances from major literary
figures, as well as installations and exhibits throughout the week.

Festival Organizers: Loss Peque?o Glazier & Piers Hugill, with the assistance of John Cayley
