Exploring E-Poetry

While there are many places online to explore E-Poetry, including Leonardo Flores’ Blog “I ♥ E-Poetry”, we will examine the digital submissions in Issue 9 of shufPoetry (2021) as a result of a game jam they hosted on itch.io.

I have chosen this collection because shufPoetry “seeks work which challenges the very definition of poetry through experimentation, mixed media, genre bending, video, animation, sound, visual text and music” (about). Issue 9 highlights 17 artists of interactive media

  • Choose at least 3 of them to explore. This exploration will guide the writing in your blog post outlined below.

Analysis Paragraph Guidelines

    • Thesis – your response to the topic
    • P – Point (to support thesis)

    • E – Explain how this example illustrates your point
  • Refer to our preliminary group writing assignment for examples: Lesson 5, Module 1 (Visual Analysis: Elmo)

Bridge 321 Commenting
