editorial statement

Arras: new media poetry and poetics is devoted to exploring how digital technology has impacted the field of experimental poetics.

This includes the uses of digital technology to expand the techniques that poets use - whether this be in multimedia, interactivity, algorithmic processes, and digital typefaces - as well as how the web can serve as an alternative distribution source for texts both of poetry and criticism.

A feature of the site is the irregular appearance in Adobe Acrobat format of the poetry journal Arras - including poetry, interviews and criticism - which is a continuation of the print journal of that name and is not necessarily concerned with digital technology.

This is also my homepage, so links will be added as my writing and web works go online.

Arras does not accept submissions of either poetry or digital works. Calls for theme issues of the .pdf journal will be made periodically. I'm happy to look at URLs of new media poetry, but my goal is to keep the set of "gallery" links highly focused on the specific issues that are important to me at the moment. Links will be added and dropped over time to reflect these interests.

Thanks for stopping by!
