I began my previous post by quoting the conclusion of a recent article which stated that ‘Electronic poetry in Romanian is still to be invented’. It seems to me that the careful formulation of this sentence implies a very subtle yet significant distinction between ‘E-poetry in Romanian’ and ‘Romanian e-poetry’, which can be easily applied [...]

Strange things can happen to the reader when printed matter unlocks digital delights! In early June an international collection of e-literature was installed in a gallery setting in downtown Providence (Rhode Island, USA) for the Arts Program of the Electronic Literature Organization 2010 Conference (ELO_AI), including my own piece, Underbelly.

I had the privilege, with collaborator Mark Jeffery, of participating in the exceedingly rich and diverse marathon-style event Noise!2010 at the Ontological-Hysteric Theater in NYC on June 26. I am including here a link to Danny Snelson's beautifully documented introduction to the poetry component that he curated. In his post on apasic-letters.com, Snelson conceptually situates [...]

They're by Gregory Whitehead, Andy Campbell, Jhave Johnston, and myself. Currently 13 people have agreed to post at least 6 times [...]

This week's ELO_AI conference is dedicated to Robert Coover, the American novelist and Brown University professor who cofounded the ELO and has taught electronic writing workshops at Brown since the 1980s.
