My education is in English and Creative Writing. But I've been building websites since my friend and I created a pop-culture zine called Ape Culture back in 1998. We also created a Blogger blog for the site years later.I've published a few books of poetry (one science fiction themed and one a Zen Cowboy tale along New Mexico's Goodnight-Loving trail) and I have a website for those at https://www.marymccray.com/.
I've also been blogging about poetry at Big Bang Poetry since about 2013.And my alter ego is Cher Scholar because I blog about Cher at https://cherscholar.typepad.com/.
I became interested in Digital Literature a few years ago and have been tracking my favorite pieces here: https://www.marymccray.com/elit-reading-list.html.
I've only dabbled in online works over the last few years but I started a list of projects I've done including some videos, a mesotic poem and some 1990s celebrity hypertext "choose your own adventures."
Looking forward to learning more in this class.
I love that you have an alter ego that you use. I have always thought it might be fun to take up a different persona and tell stories through new eyes. I am very impressed with your first post and the images and links you included.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Mary (or should I address you as Nerdia?). I'm especially excited about your celebrity hypertext projects! Since you've been following digital literature for so long, perhaps you'd be interested in recording an interview/discussion for the podcast? Lemme know.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the model for your zine t-shirt is on point :)
I am happy to be taking this class with such an accomplished poet. I've written poetry all my life and am only now looking into getting published. I will certainly be looking in on your various blogs and musings.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing that you have published a poetry book, I will have to check it out.
