INTERNET POETRY




Poetry that "engulfs all manner of issues surrounding the Internet and our place in it – how we fit our lives in with social media, wasting hours on YouTube, Wikileaks, the Transatlantic Submarine Cables etc. It could be written on anything from text (blog, PDF), video (YouTube) or image (Tumblr)." Internet poetry looks to interweave and spread literary expression via the online platforms we populate today. (Is Internet Poetry Any Good?)



EXAMPLES OF INTERNET POETRY:
