Code Poetry, or musings on poetic form
This started with a podcast I was listening to that mentioned Ruby, a relatively new programming language that emphasizes clean layout of its code as well as syntax that encourages simplicity and human comprehension. That plus code’s emphasis on line breaks, punctuation, white space, etc. struck me as a variation of my friend KA’s “poetry space” idea (”the idea that a poem can exist as a space for symbol that could not be understood in any other context…a closed system analysis”).
