 Hypertext and Poetry
Poetry and other adventurous art began the practice of hypertext much earlier in the century than is generally acknowledged.
Hypertext and "electronic poetry" (poetry produced by computer, digital media, video) are the foci of my work at this moment.
To further specify the term, hypertext is "a database with nodes (screens) connected with links (mechanical connections) and link icons (to designate where the links exist in the text)." (Heim 154) Hypertext is a type of textual branching which also allows the reader to link text freely with audio and video.

She describes the confrontation (students had previously studied Eliot, DeLillo, and Lowell) as A Small Odyssey, and her hypertext essay is extremely interesting.Many students hated the hypertext at first, but later found it extremely rewarding; intensive classroom collaboration seems to have been the key.
Hypertext poet Robert Kendall (A Life Set for Two) will be teaching an advanced class in hypertext poetry and fiction for the New School's remote learning program this fall.
Hypertext literature comes in all shapes and sizes, from Judy Malloy's Its Name Was Penelope, a small (196 Kbytes) stand-alone poetry collection, to John McDaid's Uncle Buddy's Phantom Funhouse, which comes in a box containing five floppy disks, two cassette tapes, a sheaf of publisher's page proofs, and a "Getting Started" manual.

 hypertext Poetry Workshop project
The Poetry Workshop is using hypertext to explore the process of writing poems and working on them in poetry workshops; and then to present this process, along with new poems, to others outside the group.
The hypertext inter-links the workshops, the texts of the poems, background discussions of general points arising in the workshop discussions, the poets' comments on their own workshops, poets' Home Pages and other poems by the poets.
Of course, the copyright for all poems in the hypertext Poetry Workshop project remains with the author.

 ebr11 --<montfort
The hypertext corpus has been produced; if it is to be resurrected, it will only be as part of a patchwork that includes other types of literary machines.
Oddly, the idea that hypertexts can appear in print has been a contentious point for some critics, many of whom either see the electronic digital computer as an essential element in defining a category of interactive texts or consider all texts (which one can, after all, skip around in) as hypertexts.
As appropriate as the hypertext category might be for Landow's topic (the embodiment of late 20th century critical theory in interactive computer text forms) it includes only a subset of electronic literary efforts.

 Note on Hypertext Poetry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
This poem was written to illustrate the basic principles of hypertext and HTML for a poetry class I taught.
Hypertexts in which there is a story and you choose options for what happens and what happens next is based on your choice, which is foillowed by another choice etc. are often trees.
An example of a hypertext based on a tree is "The Bar Game" in "The Usability Chronicles," by Martha Deed and Millie Niss.

 Indra's Net Theoretical
In this form, pieces of prose (rarely poetry) of variable length, now generally referred to as 'lexia', are stored in 'spaces' which usually correspond to text windows on the screen, as well as to the 'nodes' of the link-node model.
Some of the new literary hypertexts use a language (within their lexia) which could be characterized as 'poetic', however the medium does not in itself encourage or enforce that more profound involvement with the nuts and bolts of language which is the poet's stock in trade.
This means both that the generated pieces disrupt and interrogate language itself in a way that hypertext usually does not, and also that the 'link-node' model loses uses its usefulness as a description for this type of work.

 Riding the Meridian - Hypertext - Means and Ends
Hypertext literature and digital arts are a far cry from wandering in the full wash of the Internet's associative ocean, and at times, something the web itself can't actually show you.
Thus some hypertext authors, like Robert Kendall, who has been teaching hypertext since 1995 in a course he developed for the New School for Social Research (a course also offered over the web), has at times written his own computer code to achieve the look or word delivery system he's after for a particular piece.
In hypertext, it's not uncommon to see the author seek out a new means of programming language and use its specific features to design not only the presentation, but the actual concept and structure of a new piece.

 Hyper-What?: Some Views on Reader Discomfiture with Hypertext Fiction by Lawrence J. Clark
Bernstein challenged his audience, which included hypertext systems designers and programmers as well as hypertext fiction authors, to create hypertexts that include elements of mystery, fun, satire, and even "inspired silliness." Another key issue that Bernstein noted is that in today's complicated, information-saturated world, what many people want is not more complication, but simplicity.
While the typical reader of a hypertext work is perhaps more sophisticated than the average television viewer or airport novel reader and thus more willing to "play" or take risks with the narrative structure, the size of that audience is unlikely to ever reach that of, say, the latest John Grisham novel.
I find that most hypertext fiction works I read today still have the same problem; this is one of the major complaints of my students, most of whom are being introduced to hypertext fiction for the first time.

A draft of The Romance of Lost Causes was started for Rob Kendall's Hypertext Poetry and Fiction Class at the New School, which I was taking in the fall of 1995, but time ran out before I could finish it.
Admittedly, this system is primitive, but until the overall size and shape of the hypertext becomes clearer to me, it seems best to keep things as they are, though more text links could be added in the meantime.
However, the original concept for the structure of Romance was a bestiary (A is for Administrator, B is for Budget, C is for Curriculum, and so on), an idea that may have come from reading the bestiaries of Edward Gorey.

I think it is a form of Hypertext, but compared to things like Intermedia, Storyspace, Microcosm, or the German SEPIA (Structured Elicitation and Processing of Ideas for Authoring), or Hyper-G in Austria, it really is a flat version.
But why can't you have both the experience of those who used Hypertext and apply it to the Web, but also find out how to theorize that and find out what the implications are and work with them.

Hypertext narratives, though, complicate this sense of displacement, for they indicate the extent to which literature is by no means an antiquated cultural form relegated to the obsolescent spheres of print—it has instead virtually transformed itself and this course will investigate how it has done so.
Hypertext fiction projects are also welcome, but they should be accompanied by a short (4-5 pp.) critical analysis of the composition.
