Although poetry is often treated as silent print on the page, this talk details how digital tools can augment poetry's aural and performed dimensions. The talk presents three such digital projects: Songs of the Victorians, an archive and analysis of musical settings of famous Victorian poems, Augmented Notes, a tool for creating digital scores synched with audio, and Sounding Poetry, a visualization tool for analyzing poetry recitations.
