1. True North

   This description comes from Rebooting Electronic Literature Volume 2:

   Stephanie Strickland's True North came out in 1997 in two formats. First, it was published as a print book of poetry by the University of Notre Dame Press and won––that same year––the Poetry Society of America's Alice Fay Di Castagnola Award and the Ernest Sandeen Poetry Prize. It also appeared as a hypertext poem released on floppy disk for both PC and Macintosh computers by Eastgate Systems, Inc. As Strickland states in her “Prologue,” work on True North began in 1995 at N. Katherine Hayles's National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar but originally was conceived over a decade earlier when, influenced by the writings of Simone Weil, she developed an interest in finding a woman’s language.

   The editions and versions include:

2. Reagan Library

   Reagan Library is an odd mixture of stories and images, voices and places, crimes and punishments, connections and disruptions, signals on, noises off, failures of memory, and acts of reconstruction. It goes into some places not customary for "writing." I think of it as a space probe. I have no idea what you'll think.

    The piece seems to become more and more confusing as the writing continues. Demonstrates certain aspects of the writings becoming more incoherent, showing older graphic pictures of areas that seem lost, and bizarre, regarding the context of Reagan Library. The texts describe certain scenarios as well such as the Doctor asking what appears to be a patient to perform tasks involving one of the graphics, the piece goes on from the doctor's narration of the person's ability to perform the given tasks involving the image.

6. The Barrier Frames / Diffractions Through

   Interactive poems that invite the reader to explore the aural and visual possibilities of densely package word clusters -- groups of words overlaid in physical and syntactic space. The mouse peels away layers of text, summoning waves of imagery from the depths. Rosenberg uses electronic writing to experiment with linguistic simultaneity and implicit association. His evocative word cluster challenge and extend poetic and hypertextual conventions, and his work has had wide influence on the design of spatial hypertext tools.
