1. Birds Still Warm from Flying

   The energy of the looped music clip and the whimsically tactile image of its title set the tone for a poem (or 43 quintillion poems) composed of lines about human relationships, spaces in buildings, medical procedures, books, computers, and more. Jason Nelson frames this poem as a mature cube interface poem, and it is difficult to disagree, when juxtaposed with his earlier work in this vein “The Poetry Cube.” The cube interface is more polished in its physicality as a manipulable three dimensional object, with Rubik’s Cube dynamics that allow for up to 4.3×1019 possible permutations of its 42 lines and 12 videos. Each face is preset with a color for its numbered lines of verse and short looping video clips of some sort of movement (on foot, by bus, in a car) in an urban setting.

2. Lines of Life

   The poem is built from one or two words at a time, sometimes appearing as plain text in a small window, usually layered over a slightly larger pop-up window with images and animation. When language appears in the image-driven windows, it does so as an image: handwritten or drawn words, or bitmapped and transformed typed words.

3. The Winter House

   This multimedia narrative shortlisted for the 2010 New Media Writing Prize combines a variety of genres and forms to tell an engaging story. This murder mystery brings the protagonist back to a mansion and boarding school to investigate her father’s untimely demise. The narrative and graphic design of this linear hypertext borrows heavily from the detective board game Clue (aka Cluedo), yet its treatment of the material using videogame interfaces, e-poetic deployment of its language, and smartly integrated multimedia keeps it from seeming cliché.

4. Nomen Sacrum Trial

   This “psychometric trial” prompts readers to explore their sacred name through manipulation of the “lettered sieve” an infinite set of language constructed as follows:

   For the following trial, imagine the alphabet, followed by, in alphabetical order, all permutations of pairs of letters of the alphabet, followed by all permutations of triples of letters of the alphabet, followed by quadruples, and so on for quintuples, sextuples, and so on. Let us call this infinite set of letters a ‘Lettered Sieve.’ Possessing a working concept of the Lettered Sieve is essential to completing the first seven parts of the trial.

5. Little Book of Prompts

   This work prompts readers to write according to a set of poetic constraints, offering original, famous, and obscure forms and examples. The interface offers a series of virtual pages floating in fixed positions in space, and allowing readers to tilt them, zoom in and out, and flip them over to read the examples on their verso. A close examination of its yellowed pages reveals barely perceptible ink marks from handwriting on the other side, but that information is missing when one flips the page.
