1. Le(s) Mange Texte(s): Creative Cannibalism and Digital Poetry

   Digital poetry always involves mathematical concepts. Fusing together textual elements is an additive process, at very least. Combining files and presenting them via computer screens multiplies possibilities for poetry, and the sum, or sums, of the artistic equation are often worthy of the effort involved. Thus, what we factor into the equation, and how it is factored in, is important. Considering some of the successful works of digital poetry that appeared in the hypermedia journal Alire in France, and in other historical and contemporary works, I see a trait that emerges despite overt aesthetic differences and variant approaches in works produced that I wish to associate with a liberating and useful poetical concept that emerged in South America nearly a century ago.

2. Portuguese Experimental Poetry: Revisited and Recreated

   Portuguese Experimental Poetry, claiming to be an avant-garde movement, arose in Lisbon in the mid 60’s. It got its name from the title of a magazine, Cadernos de Poesia Experimental, which became the herald of the movement. Two issues were published, the first in 1964 and the second in 1966, organized by António Aragão and Herberto Hélder. The first issue was presented as anthological, since it included texts not only of Portuguese poets and musicians but also Brazilian, French, Italian and English artists. It also had a section which included poets of several epochs and tendencies, such as Luis de Camões or Quirinus Kuhlmann, representing respectively the mannerist and baroque aesthetics of European poetry.
