1. HYPER POETRY

• It can either involved set words, phrases, lines, etc. that are presented
in variable order but sit on the page much as traditional poetry does, or
it can contain parts of the poem that move and transform.
• It is usually found online, through CD-ROM and diskette versions exist.
The earliest examples date to no later than the mid-1980’s.
• It is highly steeped in the visual and sometimes involves parts that are
read in varying orders.
• It includes verse with links to sub-poems or footnotes, poetry
“generators”, poetry with movement or images.

Penetration: is a well-known example of hypertext poem. The poem is

from the collection “The Seasons”, which was published in 2000 by
Eastgate. The collection consists of two poems: Dispossession and
Penetration. The poem is set up so that the reader has choice to begin
the poem through different perspectives.

For example, by clicking on “daylight” the poem is in the perspective of

the daughter (Di Rosario). Then the path of poem is dictated by what
the reader chooses after each passage, by clicking on one of the series
of choices below the passage (Di Rosario).

SIX-WORD FLASH FICTION

• Is an entire story told in six words. It is a short narrative that can have
all of the emotional themes of longer stories- from funny to dramatic,
sad to scary.
• While these quick stories don’t have the classic beginning, middle, and
end of a traditional storyline, they have a subject and verb that give the
reader a sense of what’s happened and a bit of conflict.

• Ernest Hemingway:
For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
• Margaret Atwood:
Longed for him. Got him, Shit.
