What is "poetica"

Poetica is the first album by the New York City based dance music act iiO. It was released in March 2005.

Six tracks from the album were released as singles; "Rapture", "At the End", "Smooth", "Runaway", "Kiss You" and "Is it Love?".

Poetica is the name of a calligraphic, ornamental typeface designed by Robert Slimbach for Adobe Systems in 1992. As one of the first of the Adobe Originals family of typefaces, it attained a wide usage in digital typography.

Poetica (All Beauty Sleeps) is the 11th album by Sopor Æternus & the Ensemble of Shadows. The album consists of musical adaptations of Poe's poems, some of them already made by Cantodea in previous albums: Dreamland is found on Todeswunsch - Sous le soleil de Saturne under the title of "Die Bruderschaft des Schmerzes"; Alone on Voyager - The Jugglers of Jusa; The Sleeper on Dead Lovers' Sarabande (Face One); and The Conqueror Worm on Flowers in Formaldehyde. However, all the musical arrangements were redone in the new versions.

The album was released in September 2013 in two different formats: in Compact disc CD format with an opulent hardcover photo book of 156 pages (28 x 28 cm), and an exclusive T-shirt (limited to 1999 copies); and on 12" vinyl with two posters, exclusive artwork by Natalie Shau and Keith Thompson, and a different T-shirt (limited to 890 copies.) Both editions were signed and numbered by Anna-Varney Cantodea herself. Additionally, the album was released via Bandcamp for digital download.
