HYPERTEXT: a Universe (to be continued evermore)
Steve Ersinghaus has taken on quite a project with a universe in that he will be continually adding to this hypertext story/poem as he is inspired to take it into new directions.
His latest, rakes, introduces two types of characters that are constantly driven by the stirrings of perhaps jealousy and the “greener-grass” syndrome that too many of us allow to take over our efforts. There is Steve’s usual eloquence and play with language:
“The land is orange on the upswing of the sun and grows paler as the day wears on. Ear to the ground, you might hear moles moving through the earth, and when the sun finally sets and you look up and find the newly fathomable stars and planets, you might think of Henry’s mother who wonders at the upper quadrant of the picture window if her dreams are true.”
This is one to bookmark and folow; Steve posts at twitter with announcements of new additions though of course, it doesn’t really matter where you enter a hypertext piece sometimes.
