Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Science, Technology, Art, POETRY

For possibly THE book on early digital poetics look at Chris Funkhouser's
Prehistoric Digital Poetry page (and book, available through Amazon).
http://web.njit.edu/~funkhous/prehistoric.html

For the best jumping off point for both breadth and depth in electronic
literature and digital poetics go to Loss Glazier's site at SUNY Buffalo:
http://epc.buffalo.edu/e-poetry/

For what we are doing in Europe go to:
http://www.elmcip.net/

For Southern European perspectives try:
http://www.hermeneia.net/eng/index.html

There are lot's of other resources. There have been a series of really good
books from Germany this year edited by Peter Gendolla and Joergen Schaefer.
Look for them on Amazon.

Best
