digital poetry

Kinetic visual poetry created for viewing via a computer. (Currently, a still-
developing form of visual poetry is digital poetry, visual poetry written for the
computer screen, poetry whose words or letters dance before us, or which
require us to carry out certain actions before it will relieve its secrets.) (But
digital poetry finds much of its inspiration in cinema.) (With a little
imagination, though, we may be able to devise ways to capture and preserve
digital poetry, at least temporarily. One solution, though not a preferable one,
is to convert the digital poem to some simple audiovisual format: motion-
picture film, videotape, mpegs.)
