Linking the ancient and ultra tech..., January 30, 2002 By A Customer
I don't like to give 5 stars because I feel people don't believe in them, but I really like this book.
I like my poetry to rhyme, and most of this is free verse, so I have to root around to feel comfortable. But there is enough rhyme for a Luddite like me to be happy, and from what I see of the free verse it is mostly clear and evocative.
What makes this stand out is the "brief" history of the Internet. It is at once the most thorough and most easily read I have ever seen. It covers from Franklin experimenting with electricity to 100 million people being on-line--I very much wish I had had this resource when I was in college.
How great--a book you can enjoy for leisure or use for research.

This is an oustanding collection of poetry. With so many different poets and different styles one is able to garner the true beauty of the Internet, as the collaborative medium for great poets. The Internet opens a new path for these great poets to share and understand one another across global boundaries.
Truly a masterpiece of modern day poetry that captures the true spirit of communication.
Hats off to these great poets and publisher.
