Description:
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2013 GERALD LAMPAND MEMORIAL AWARD<BR><BR><i>repeater</i> is a poetic investigation into the coding, function, language, and structure of computer programming. Using the ASCII 8-bit binary code as an acrostic, each lower-case letter of the alphabet is arranged alongside the lines of the title poem. As a result, this poem "programs" an investigation of layered and digitalized language that is coded into the heart of the code itself. Appendixes to this code form supplementary studies, and deviate into additional problems and concepts at the convergence of poetry and computer programming. Ultimately, <i>repeater</i> reveals what happens when the creative variability of poetry is "inputted" into the rigid binaric structure of computer language.
