Jennifer Ley
Jennifer Ley is the editor of two Internet poetry sites, The
Astrophysicist's Tango Partner Speaks, and Riding the Meridian, which has
just debuted.
Her poetry, artwork and hypertext poetry suites have been published widely
on the Internet, by, among others: The Animist, Octavo, Recursive Angel,
2River View, Conspire, Agnieska's Dowry, PoetryMagazine.com - her work is
archived at poetrycafe.com Examples of her hypertext work were published at
Conspire, November, 1998; Snakeskin,
October, 1998 and
Animist
in February, 1999.
Ms. Ley's work is also anthologized in print in the upcoming Athen's
Poetry Circle's second anthology, in Silhouettes on the Electric
Sky and in Will Work for Peace.
Her project for the workshop was to redesign the entry points for
the Astrophysicist's Tango Partner
Speaks, which hadn't had a really good facelift for years. The site
now sports an intuitive opening interface, which links either immediately
into the poetry on site through iconic 'buttons' or to a more linear
exploration through an imagemap constructed to point people towards
specific parts of the site.
Because so many of the older pages of Astro needed redesign/recoding ...
three buttons have been reserved to link into new/future threads.
At Heelstone, two new hypertext projects can be found in working form:
On Freedom
and Confinement in the Victorian Age

Marjorie Luesebrink M.D. COVERLEY is the pen name of MARJORIE C. LUESEBRINK, M.F.A. She teaches writing and literature in the School of Humanities and Languages at Irvine Valley College, Irvine, California. Her non-fiction and scholarly articles on folklore, contemporary literature, and hypertext technology have appeared both in print and on-line. A full-length, CD-ROM hypermedia novel, Califia, is forthcoming from Eastgate Systems. "Fibonacci's Daughter" tells the story of a mystery at the Mall--where a woman named Annabelle Thompson is selling insurance--against ill fate. The structure of the piece plays with space/time/predictability--the location of the shops in the mall and the revelation of breaking news. It uses the number sequences and concepts developed by Fibonacci in both the fiction and the organization. Leonardo de Pisa, Fibonacci (1175-1250), was best known for his treatise, Liber abaci, the Book of Numbers, in which he explained the golden mean and called for the adoption of Arabic numerals. In "Fibonacci's Daughter", a thoroughly modern woman demonstrates that strange convergences of culture can arise out of our commerce. In this tale, then, we have Liberace meets Liber abaci. Recent short
fiction on the web includes: "The Lacemaker",
a story episode in the collaborative "The Book of Hours of Madame
de Lafayette" produced by Christy Sheffield Sanford.

geniwate geniwate [Jenny Weight] lives in Adelaide, Australia.
She had a
short collection of poetry entitled
The Empiricosis
project is structured as if it were an empirical research project aimed
at answering two questions. Firstly, "Are formulas like poems?" secondly
"Are poems like formulas?". There are several "experiments"
aimed at proving one way or the other. (!) it is meant to exist in that
territory between humour and seriousness. Included is some of
the history of the> development of the scientific method and the
percieved division between it and "art".
Last summer,
she attended a school run by ANAT (Australian Network for Art and Technology)
on this theme. She recently won the trAce- Geniwate's work can be seen at

Other work
Visions
and Dreams Mirror, Mirror is a triangular-shaped hypertext representing one person's spiritual journey through the seven steps of searching, learning, openness, meditation, inspiration, yielding and discovery, ending in the ultimate spiritual battle. The reader follows these spiritual pathways, making a choice at the end of each stage, from two options which will sometimes be obviously diametrically opposed. In other places the rightness or wrongness of the choice is subtle and not obvious until it is too late to avoid the consequences....... While the structure and narrative of Mirror, Mirror is complete, it does not yet take full advantage of graphics, animation and other up-to-date web technologies. The author would welcome collaborations in this or other projects with web programmers, graphic designers, musicians or artists. Please contact me.
