How to Describe the Moon

I was at and over six lines of poetry for about three hours last night. I’m back at the top level of the hypertext poem, moving through line by line, but really as the process is more organic than a linear step-through.
Anyway, I got hung up on the middle portion of a [...]

Tinderbox and Poetry

Tinderbox is proving most helpful for organizing my ideas in “futures.” Note that this is a tentative title. The title will come from further link mining, where the writer, through rewriting and rereading, finds more and deeper relations in the text.
Thus far the poem is developing from 1) inferred links and 2) natural [...]

Poetry and Hypertext

Where the coyotes
follow her to the river
and then lose scent

I’m working through some problems in the current draft of a poem in hypertext.  Of course, one problem is simply finding the time to write during the teaching semester, but time will come over the break for digging into the project.

Anne and Death

I’m encountering all kinds of new things with the help of Storyspace and reading Susan Gibb’s Paths as I dig deeper into a new project of my own. Here’s one of the writing spaces that developed from a thematic link on the irrevocable in Paths. One of the beauties here is that the link is [...]

Comments and Collaboration

It’s interesting that given the subject of weblog comments that Susan adds to the issue in a post on collaboration and lets the blogger/typepad magic work on its own. She links back to Wayne at Nutty Streamers to illustrate weblog community.
In a like-minded community with a job to do the issue isn’t writing but getting [...]
