Poesie Elettroniche

What happens when poetry meets computer programming code? This is what happens in Fabrizio Venerandi's e-book Poesie elettroniche. Six different ways of interpreting electronic poetry in an original e-book where the verses change over time, react to the touch of the reader, change under his eyes, generate in turn other verses, move on the page approaching and separating. For this e-book Fabrizio Venerandi has decided to use the latest format for the creation of enriched ebooks, ePub3.

He wrote the verses and at the same time programmed the code to animate them and make them unstable: "All four sections of the text - explains the author in his introduction - contain things that I would not have wanted to reread. That I would not have wanted to stop in a form. These are poems that do not want to be finished, but who believe that the thing of which they speak is still a changing thing".

For this reason the reader will find himself in front of deleted, mutant, moving lines. From time to time he will have to discover, touch, return to poems that continue to generate new verses, to remove old ones. A text that fits into the tradition of electronic poetry, transporting it within a common editorial product such as the ebook.

The programming codes of the ebook are not protected: on the contrary, the author invites readers to open the ebook and write new poems by deleting their own. It can be read with any device and program capable of supporting EPUB3.
