	dbqp: visualizing poetics: Digital Poetry Incunabula
		I started creating poetry on computers in 1984, but all I did was use a computer to create mild visual effects with concrete poems meant for a life on paper—nothing significant, nothing I'd call digital.
		However, 1984 is a watershed year in digital poetry, since this was when Apple released the Macintosh computer, making much easier the development of this kind of poetry.
		There is another dimension to the concept of 'digital poetry' that you have not addressed and which, due to the the growing ubiquity of the web, you might wish to think about.

	Poetry Slam: Background, History, Timeline
		From The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Slam Poetry: “Slam poetry is the brainchild of Marc Smith (So What!) and the blue collar intellectual eccentrics who crammed into the Get Me High Lounge on Monday nights from November 1984 to September 1986 for a wide-open poetry experience.
		In 1985 a construction worker and poet named Marc Smith (slampapi) started a poetry reading series at a Chicago jazz club, the Get Me High Lounge, looking for a way to breathe life into the open mike poetry format.
		In 1986 Smith approached Dave Jemilo, the owner of the Green Mill (a Chicago jazz club and former haunt of Al Capone), with a plan to host a weekly poetry cabaret on the club's slow Sunday nights.

	Novel: A Forum on Fiction: Editorial: Box 1984 revisited
		Indeed, our aim was to provide for the novel the kind of critical, theoretical, and comparative attention the New Critics had applied to poetry, with the all-important proviso that novels by generic nature call for a wider variety of critical, comparative, and theoretical approaches.
		There was also an explanatory editorial, "On Box 1984" (our mailing address), announcing the journal's intention to serve as a clearinghouse for theories of the novel and for criticisms of novels in all ages and literatures.
		Under the rubric of "Second Thoughts on Love and Death in the American Novel," for instance, Fiedler characterized his famous text as "My First Gothic Novel" and proceeded to indicate the mythic reaches of his narrative madness, his sustained discourse on the American novel's gothic attributes.

		His books include Self and Sensibility in Contemporary American Poetry (Cambridge, 1984), Canons and Consequences: Reflections on the Ethical Force of Imaginative Ideals (Northwestern, 1990), and Subjective Agency (Blackwell, 1994).
		By stressing the poets' ways of making the syntax of art works carry semantic force, this orientation generates a much more dynamic, philosophically stimulating sense of modernist poetry than the ones offered by the dominant styles of political critique.
