HYPERTEXT: Stretchtext
Via Mark Bernstein, this very interesting use of stretchtext by Joe Davis entitled Telescopic Text.
Stretchtext was used beautifully by Steve Ersinghaus in his poem That Day published in the anniversary issue of The Drunken Boat, and it is something I’m interested in learning to incorporate into my own work.
What intrigues and amuses me with Mr. Davis’ piece is that it is directly contrary to the all important editing process in expanding upon a narrative versus slashing back for brevity.
