I’ve started working on writing pieces that link together. Bits of poetry and prose and quotes from other people’s writing that expands the idea of the poetry, or that inspired it. I’ve learned a little xhtml and css to do this. I’m really a beginner with any kind of programming (they don’t teach that in english lit.) And you just can’t rush the poetry writing- when you do it turns out cheezy and stale. At least, that’s what happens when I try and squeeze out poetry like my creative brain is a tube.
Anyway- here’s a link to the first piece I made like this. It’s called Waiting Light. It’s posted under ‘web art’ on Open Journal.
I’d love any feedback on it or ideas for the next one. Or if you’re working on something like that- poetry with deep internal layers of links- let me know, i’d love to link to it.
