Reviews

"That Eduardo Kac's, Media Poetry: An International Anthology exposes scholars and artists to electronic literature that has emerged out of Europe, South America, and North America and focuses intently on one genre of electronic literature speaks to the book's significance as a scholarly work. It makes an excellent text for graduate programs in digital media and has the potential of shaping the current vision of media poetry as well as other genres of literature produced for and by computing devices and influencing the larger field of media art by raising awareness of electronic literature." - Dene Grigar, Consciousness, Literature and the Arts "I find these papers by media poets fascinating to read because they are so explicit about the epistemic change (social change in discursive formations) instantiated in their work. The poets are acutely conscious of what they are doing and why." - Rosemary Huisman Associate Professor, The University of Sydney "Media Poetry is a news-broadcast from an international gathering of digital poets; Hodibis Potax provides a vivas holopoetry[...]We can hope that Kac will, in decades hence, continue to use his experience and expertise as an artist and researcher to issue additional volumes." - Chris Funkhouser, Project Muse "Media Poetry: An International Anthology has the advantage of being a glimpse into a moment of time filled with wildly diverse, rapidly changing practices." - Jay Murphy, Afterimage "Kac's anthology displays a range of approaches toward literacy dynamism in Europe and the Americas across four decades." - Chris Funkhouser, Electronic Book Review
