HYPERPOETRY

Hyperpoetry is a form of digital poetry that


uses links using hypertext mark-up. It is a
very visual form, and is related to hypertext
fiction and visual arts. The links mean that a
hypertext poem has no set order, the poem
moving or being generated in response to
the links that the reader/user chooses.
hyperpoetry refers to works of verse
(although not necessarily in lines
and stanzas) which could not be
presented without the computer.
Hyperpoetry includes verse with
links to sub-poems or footnotes,
poetry “generators,” poetry with
movement or images .
Hypertextual poems is also a part of
hyperpoetry where readers move from
one website to another because of
embedded links in the words,
sometimes not returning to the original
pages at all.
HYPERPOETRY
~~This genre, also called cyberpoetry
as well as other names, has many
definitions and, like hyperfiction, is
difficult to categorize. Much poetry on
the web is basically just traditional
work uploaded.
