- Digital poetry is not a singular "form" but rather a conglomeration of forms that now constitutes a genre even though the creative activity itself — in terms of its media, methods, and expressive intent —contains heterogeneous components.
- The
  strongest definition of the genre is found in the introduction to the volume p0es1s: Aesthetics of Digital Poetry, which proclaims that digital poetry: "applies to artistic projects that deal with the medial changes in language and language-based communication in computers and
  digital networks. Digital poetry thus refers to creative, experimental, playful and also critical language art involving programming,
  multimedia, animation, interactivity, and net communication"
- 9 more annotations...
- - Digital poetry is a genre that fuses crafted language with new media technology and techniques enabled by such equipment,
    and is a reasonable label to use in describing forms of literary work that are presented on screens with the assistance of
    computers and/or computer programming. A poem is a digital poem if computer programming or processes (software, etc.) are
    distinctively used in the composition, generation, or presentation of the text (or combinations of texts).
  - All works of text-generation, or archetypal computer poetry, can be seen as performing some
    type of permutation in that they transform or reorder one set of base texts or language
  - Works are either permutational (recombining elements into new words or variations), combinatoric (using limited, pre-set word
    lists in controlled or random combinations), or slotted into syntactic templates (also combinatoric but within grammatical
    frames to create an image of "sense").
  - An argument could be
    made that digital technology available at the time better suited "operational" poets, whose work was computational in character (and, later, poets whose work would be graphical or nonlinear). For instance,
    Jackson Mac Low and John Cage perpetually used the computer because the device facilitated the type of work they had been
    doing for many years. Someone who wants the computer to write a Petrarchan sonnet, for example, and expects it to write it
    as well as Petrarch, is asking the machine to perform the wrong type of task.
  - In either
    mode, selecting appropriate input text is the most important element in the process of pronouncing meaningful expression.
    Whoever establishes the database co-authors the poem, as does the writer of the program; the user of the program also has
    authorial prerogatives in selecting from and editing output.
  - Computer poems challenge and invite the reader to participate imaginatively in the construction of the text;
    some mock the conventions of poetry, and others reify them.
  - By the mid-1960s graphical and kinetic components emerged, rendering shaped language as poems on screens and as printouts.
    Since then, videographic and other types of kinetic poems have been produced using digital tools and techniques. This advancement
    — foregrounding the visual aspects of language at least as much as the verbal — marks several changes in the development of digital poetry. In contrast to works discussed above, these visual and kinetic
    works largely employ mutation as opposed to permutation
  - In the visually oriented works of digital poetry, technology intended for the creation of graphical artwork is used to process
    language instead of images or language as images. For many years writers and artists have used computers, software, and fonts
    to do more than make shapes on the page. Graphical poems as such are not new to literature, though the tools for producing
    them alter, accelerate, amplify, and, ultimately, animate the process. Contributing to a trend that fosters changes in the
    act of reading, an increase of poetry containing graphical elements has intensified in recent years because both the software
    and publishing medium of the WWW enables (if not encourages) the incorporation of visual elements.
  - Essentially four types of hypertext works were designed: (1) those which feature only text presented as a series of nodes
    which are directly interlinked (sometimes with some sort of "map" that can be used as guidance); (2) those that feature significant graphical and kinetic components (i.e., hypermedia), also
    based on the 1:1 link—node premise; (3) those that present a virtual object that the user negotiates (without having to constantly "click" on links to traverse that text); and (4) those that are formed through methods of aleatoric progression.
