poarem

Poarem is a term used in contemporary literary and arts discourse to describe a flexible practice that blends poetry with other media. There is no single definition or standard form; its meaning depends on the context and author.

In its broadest sense, poarem can refer to works where the textual element of poetry is combined with performance, music, or visual media, creating an integrated experience where text, sound, and image interact. It can also denote experimental layouts where typography, spacing, and page design are essential to meaning.

The term appears in discussions around interdisciplinary poetics and digital media, including performance poetry, video poetry, and visually oriented poetry installations. Some scholars treat poarem as an umbrella category for hybrid works that resist traditional boundaries between poetry and other arts.

Reception is varied. Proponents view poarem as a useful descriptor for innovative practices that expand how poetry is experienced. Critics argue that the term can be too broad or vague to be analytically precise and may risk homogenizing diverse practices.

For further context, related concepts include visual poetry, multimedia poetry, performance poetry, and digital humanities approaches to poetics.
