In the simplest terms Digital Poems are born from the combination of technology and poetry, with writers using all multi-media elements as critical texts. Sounds, images, movement, video, interface/interactivity and words are combined to create new poetic forms and experiences. And when a piece like "game, game..." attracts millions of readers while a "successful" print poem might attract a hundred, I think the digital truly is the future of poetry. Heliozoa.com is designed as a stable of sorts, for the these poetic digital horses to sleep. Readers can play within the possibilities of the electronic poem, to inspire and frighten, to allure and repel. An introduction to what poetry has become, and the imaginary lands I build to keep them in hay and away from the rain. So click and sway and read and post-ponder these works, spread them to others.

"game, game, game and again game"
