poetic technologies
The 160-character limit of mobile phones' text messaging function has spawned a new poetic form. Witness Andrew Wilson's collection Text Messages, a collection of poems written on a mobile phone in 160 characters or fewer, which, in turn, inspired The Guardian's text-message poetry competition.
The always-excellent Test has a nice essay up which tries to situate text-message poems in the larger context of the relationship between technology and intimacy.
I have a longer entry in mind on the effects of Google on creative writing, but that will have to wait for a later time. Labels: poetry_commentary, writing |
