1. Hypernews and Coherence

   This essay seeks to illuminate certain fundamental aspects of textual and cognitive coherence in the production and reading of hypertexts in general and hypernews in particular. A division into intranodal, internodal and hyperstructural coherence helps to clarify concepts and also seems to reflect certain distinctive features of hypertext as a concept representing a linguistic level above the text level. Likewise, van Dijk's conceptual distinction between macro- and superstructures proves to be useful for demonstrating how axial and networked hyperstructures respectively may maintain, strengthen or weaken various forms of textual coherence.

2. New Criticism Necessary? and Points for Hypermedia Critics

   From editors' description: Marsh's two nodes for this issue explore how criticism of hypertext and new media might differ from criticism of print literature. In New Criticism Necessary? he considers the question of 'newness' with regard to both current practice in new media and its related criticism and theory. In Points for Hypermedia Critics he proposes three 'axes' of analysis along which a formal study of new media might proceed, suggesting that hypertext/media is at once formative, performative and reformative in design and function.

   From the editors' description in the special issue of the journal:Weight has contributed an essay in four sections to this issue, and has titled the essay "Notes Towards a Phenomenology of Digital Information".

4. Intent is Important (a sketch for a progressive criticism)

   Miles has contributed three nodes to this issue of JoDI. In "Intent is Important (a sketch for a progressive criticism) he discusses the question of authorial intent, arguing that hypertext criticism must not only consider a work's literary merits but also consider how what may seem to be technical imperfections can be intended, crucial aspects of a work.

8. Writing to be Found and Writing Readers

   Poetic writing for programmable and network media seems to have been captivated by the affordances of new media and questions of whether or not and if so, how certain novel, media-constituted properties and methods of literary objects require us to reassess and reconfigure the literary itself. What if we shift our attention decidedly to practices, processes, procedures — towards ways of writing and ways of reading rather than dwelling on either textual artifacts themselves (even time-based literary objects) or the concepts underpinning objects-as-artifact? What else can we do, given that we must now write on, for, and with the net which is itself no object but a seething mass of manifold processes?

9. 'Living Letterforms': The Ecological Turn in Contemporary Digital Poetics

   In this keynote for the Digital Poetics and the Present seminar, RIta Raley offers a reading of David Jhave Johnston's Sooth, a cycle of six video poems, where the reader's clicks draw out lines of poems superimposed on video that drifts around a natural scene. Raley argues that Sooth is emblematic of a recent shift in digital poetry towards a concern with ecology, where non-human actors are animate and lively. She describes this as a step away from the intense focus on the code, the technical and computational processes that dominated digital poetry at the start of the last decade. Jhave's project, Rita Raley argues, is to create digital poems that respond as though they are animate, alive. This isn't about artificial intelligence or simply about emulating life but about prompting (in us, the readers) an embodied recognition of life.

10. Collaborations in E-lit

    This essay, a discussion between two esteemed e-poets for whom collaboration is an integral part of their creative practice, appeared in the "The Collaborative Turn" special issue of American Book Review, guest-edited by Davis Schneiderman. In their discussion, Montfort and Strickland survey several common types of e-lit collaboration and provide links to representative examples. Strickland explicitly links the material aesthetics of code poetics to literary theorist Timothy Morton's call for critical thinking that engages the universe's enmeshed interconnectedness, which he dubs "the ecological thought."
