Finally, Chuck Clifton and Mara Breen participated in a week-long symposium “Rhythm and Intonation on the Page” the week of July 14, 2014. The symposium was organized by Peter Elbow, and was held on the top floor of the UMass Library. Chuck and Mara told a dozen or so poets, linguists, writing teachers, performing-art experts, and the like about how experimental research – especially eyetracking – could help them understand what readers got out of what they wrote. They were very interested in how eyetracking could shed light on what goes on in a reader’s head, especially as it involves the little voice that many readers report hearing. Some research collaborations may come out of the symposium (and Chuck and Mara learned a little bit about poetry).
