There's an interesting post by Kenneth Goldsmith at Harriet, the blog of the Poetry Foundation about writing and the Web. Kenneth Goldsmith is probably best known – or not known? – to those who read if:book as the force behind UbuWeb; there was a fascinating interview with him recently at Archinect which provides a great deal of background on his work there. He's also an accomplished poet; see, for example, his piece Soliloquy. In his post at Harriet, Goldsmith starts with a provocative statement: "With the rise of the web, writing has met its photography." He argues that writing needs to redefine itself for the new parameters the Web offers; it's a provocative argument, and one that deserves to stir up a broad discussion.
