Cleaves on television

















Beowulf Cartoon, MJ Weller (Writers Forum, 2004)


Cleaves
international poetry journal is introducing new poetic psychogeographies - a new map of the Beowulf world. This is not only innovation from Cleaves. Platform developer Harry J. Godwin is using machine coding as instrument for innovatory customized textual projection.

Very different from old-fashioned scrolling or 'free-to-use' automated software templates used on blogs like this. In some ways 'scroll down' and 'off-the-shelf' software for screen reading of poetry counters print-based 'towards design in poetry' innovations of British Poetry Revival generation when transferred to online practice.

Excitement at cleaves three viewing veteran Romanian modernist Nora Iuga (Eleonorei Almosnino) click away from new generation Greek modernist Krystalli Glyniadakis click away from London's Miraculous Continuum. Indeed.
