This poem emerged from a conference on 'Writing Practice' at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. Andrew Bennett's talk about Keats and haptographics technology inspired reflections on poetry's aim and the sensorium.
The scholar Andrew Bennett's discussion of Keats's handwriting, letters, and 'literary remains' prompted Maureen N. McLane to delve into haptographics technology to ponder if Keats aimed to capture the feel of real objects in his poetry.
At the conference, McLane's dreamlike composition of the poem was influenced by questions about writing, technology, art, materiality, and the sensorium, resonating with Keats's exploration of the human sensorium and poetic ambition.
