1. Red Lily

   Red Lily is a Flash poem divided into three musical movements that address the pain of lost love. Visual symbols, like a child playing with ducklings and a calla lily, juxtapose innocence and death, while the sound of the tolling bell coupled with textual clues of blood and needles emphasize love's end.

2. Shy Boy

   Shy Boy is a Flash poem that uses movement, visual images, and sound to deep into the soul and life of one very shy boy. The monochromatic use of black, gray, and white suggest a child who calls no attention to himself and the vanishing text, his own lack of presence among his schoolyard peers.

3. Suicide in an Airplane

   Suicide in an Airplane is a flash-based algorithmic poem/painting in black and white. Poet Brian Kim Stefans, using text derived from pages of The New York Times, has created a work in which terms associated with a hijacking incident randomly appear on the screen. The words, which have the appearance of pencil doodling, break into separate letters and chaotically bounce around the screen, sometimes disintegrating on impact with other text, other times moving about in what seems to be a floating anagram. Accompanied by tone cluster piano chords in a composition by Leo Ornstein, the text seems to pulse with the music. At times, letters fly into objects constructed of other text and explode in sync with music that mimics the scream of jet engines.

4. Blue Velvet

   Blue Velvet is a documentary about Hurricane Katrina and its affect upon New Orleans, LA. “Combining sound, text, photography, video, and several maps, the piece sculpts an evocative and poignant landscape that nonetheless refuses all registers of nostalgia, insisting as it does that we locate Katrina and the Crescent City among multiple trajectories of policy, memory, and representation”

6. >>oh<<

   >>oh<< is a “concrete cyberpoem, an interactive audio-visual by Reiner Strasser. It is based on a visual poem by Dan Waber, created on a short poem by Jennifer Hill-Kaucher” (“>>oh<<'s website”). Gray dots simulating the effect of rain fall on the page and by passing over them with the pointer an audible “Oh” sound is triggered and a ripple effect extends out from it, briefly illuminating the background text of the poem. The uncovered text and the voiced “Ohs” differ between dots and when one has moused over each one a blue dot appears. When clicked, like a fresh rainfall it washes the entirety of the poem's background text into view.
