Leonardo Electronic Almanac
New Media Poetry and Poetics Issue
Sept, v o l 14, i s s u e 05
http://www.leoalmanac.org 

A cool 10 grand. That's the number of hits that electronically streamed 
through  this e-journal during its virgin weekend. This was revealed by
an 
ecstatic LEA editor-in-chief, Nisar Keshvani, who also shares the
accolades 
that have been pouring in from readers. He adds, 750 man-hours have gone

into producing the "New Media Poetics and Poetry" Special guest-edited
by 
Tim Peterson. Of the 70 submissions, nine crisp essays and four artist 
statements feature in Vol 14 No 5 - 6.

The peer-reviewed electronic journal introduces downloadable PDFs of its

essays with MLA and APA style citations and launches LEAD: Leonardo 
Electronic Almanac Discussion. LEAD will engage readers in an online 
moderated discussion list and real-time live chats with New Media
Poetics 
scholars.

Let's now, leap into yet another bold foray, this time revolving around
the 
world of new media poetics. Bursting at the cyber-seams, a spiffy
collection 
of essays by myriad authors await.

"In the new media environment, we deal with an expanded notion of "poem"
as 
praxis of surface level and sub-textual computer code levels, and an 
expanded awareness of the digital poem as process. The reading and
reception 
of this writing occurs in a networked context, in which the reader
becomes 
an "ergodic" participant (to use Espen Aarseth's term) and helps shape
the 
form of the new media poem," defines New Media Poetics and Poetry issue 
guest editor Tim Peterson.
