Some Recent Press
All,
Sadly I’m sick again. Crap, damn, hell. And this time the consequences might be higher than a few weeks rest. Damnit. But blogish personal dribble aside. I’m eager to re-energize this community. I’ll be sending out an email later today, between naps, asking for ALL AUTHORS to post videos/photos of where they create/work/write/are inspired. But before then, I’d like to for authors (or readers) to post recent press about all things E-Lit/Net Art. This could be your work, others, the field in general etc.
So to start the process: some recent press:
Huffington Post Gallery of some of my odd digital poems.
Chronicle of Higher Education article on the new ELO collection. (comment on this one!!)
Please do either send press to me, or post your own!
cheers, Jason Nelson

Sorry to hear you’re unwell, Jason. Hope you get better soon. Great to see your work in Huffington Post!
Get well soon, Jason.

Yes, I hope you recover soon, Jason.
I read the article in theaustralian.com. He is afraid of what he does not understand. When people hit that sort of tone, you know you’re doing something right. Because it means you are doing something new they do not understand and they’re reacting in typical ape-like fashion to the truly new.
> I read the article in theaustralian.com.
My guess is it’s a hoax. Look at this sentence:
“Further there is anything but quality control on the internet, never mind editing, the Muse has been kidnapped and abused.”
The sentence is ungrammatical, it doesn’t logically follow from the preceding sentence, and it contains at least 2 shifts of register. No “senior English teacher” would write such a sentence. Furthermore, the essay’s argument is haphazardly presented and contradicts itself. I’m guessing it was written by a student of his who wanted to embarass him.
It’s too bad, because there’s a hint of a coherent point worth considering:
“Fortunately digital poetry is [un]likely to undermine the great tradition of poetry because of its transience and superficiality, lack of critical measurement and dependence on captivating technology at the cost of not just meaning, but actual craft.”
(I had to fix a typo in the original, natch.)
