Pentimento
This narrative poem is a fascinating type of hypertext because instead of having five primary nodes from which to follow linear threads it uses a layering interface for navigation. The reader, instead of clicking on links, scrapes away at images to reveal an image beneath, and can continue to scrape away until she reaches the end of that narrative thread. This allows readers to reveal more than one layer at a time, as pictured above in a screenshot of three layers in the introduction. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

A Life Set for Two
A Life Set for Two is an animated hypertext poem programmed in Visual Basic that explores the "dynamic processes of thought and memory." The story unfolds through the metaphor of two different menus––one belonging to the male narrator recounting a failed affair and other belonging to his lover, whom readers come to know only through the eyes of the narrator.

Fotomo Blues
Fotomo Blues is a work of hyperpoetry and images. It's been available online since 1997 [at www.ellipsis.net/fotomo/].
It was made for fun in the pioneering days of the web - in 1997- in order to explore new narrative possibilities offered by online publication and a screen-based environment.
Fotomo Blues offers a satire on urban grunge and media-obsession. It's an interactive visual-verbal rap on a world of electrified air, digital melancholia, meet-them-in-the-flesh nostalgia, sound bites fights, soap star charisma, geek-speak freaks, feelgood factors contractors, hairsplitting graffiti, tabloid tyranny, toxic tranquillity, revved-up redundancy, sex, lies and a whole lot more.
When it first appeared it was described as "a timely zeit through the urban geist."

Intergrams
From the Eastgate Systems, Inc. advertisement:
"Intergrams introduces us to a new species in the word forest, an infinity of possibilities, an arena with structure that is still open, that behaves, that invites. Intergrams is the exact analog of the idea that the domain of music is anything which may be heard, or that the domain of the visual arts is anything which may be seen. Intergrams is not an injection or gift of someone else's wisdom, but connections that were there for you to make all along, entirely yours, connections that spring forward with the impetus of the energy of the work. In Intergrams, space replaces time as the fundamental dimension-set for text as opposed to speech. Complex links between parts of the written text separated widely in space are simply drawn directly. The method of directly, graphically linking the pieces of text by a relationship is used for the syntax itself."

In the Footsteps of the Father
This hypertext poem gives a voice to Jesus as he questions the narrative path he is in and decides not to follow in it. The central metaphorical motif in this poem— to follow in someone’s footsteps (in this case in the father)— has particularly powerful resonance when applied to Jesus and Jehovah. For Jesus to follow in his father’s footsteps is to become a god through painful self-sacrifice, but in this poem, Jesus seeks to make his own path as a human being.

Weave
This hypermediated hypertext suite of poems make excessive use of background images, animated GIFs, and messily redundant code to render them deliciously unreadable and inviting. Bell weaves a dense mesh of lines, background images, and code to produce surfaces that are difficult to read at times, making us wonder if he’s aiming for felt rather than the finely stitched fabric of verse. Bell’s lines are witty and full of wordplay, non-repetitive reiterations, alliteration, and an inviting awareness of his strategies and questions. Follow the links to discover many other poems, in some of which he has the design audacity of using animated GIFs as background images.

Random Paths
This hypertext poem is structured linearly, yet it offers a couple of forks in the road which can sometimes lead to endless delay. Based on a holiday in Rome, the speaker’s sends her wandering eye and inquisitive mind through the city combining text and thematically related images in each node. The first node triggers a popup window titled “Rome_index” which provides a 6 x 5 grid of thumbnail images that respond to mouseovers, bringing up new images of Rome. This sensitive surface allows readers to perform a psychogeographic exploration of Rome as perceived by the speaker’s photographic eye. The circular linearity of the poem allows you to experience it multiple times, each time observing new snippets of this ancient city to juxtapose with the poem’s lyric voice. Note: This poem is best read in Internet Explorer because it uses older JavaScript codes to create pop-up windows in a way that other contemporary browsers have difficulty understanding. You will need to enable pop up windows in your browser to allow all pop ups from the site. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

Web Warp & Weft
Web Warp & Weft was created with the support of East Midlands Arts and the backing of the trAce Online Writing Centre at Nottingham Trent University.
This project aimed to explore the ways in which women and men have woven their own stories with yarn and thread, with rugs and quilts and textiles. The website was designed to thread the ideas together and work the threads [stories] into a hypertext with pictures, sound and animation, to create a bigger picture, an overall story.
The project was based in Nottingham, which has a particularly notable history of textile creation, including frame-knitting, lacemaking, and more contemporary manufacturing processes.
