University of Maryland, College ParkOut of the Oklahoma plains comes the swirling, oddly crafted, poetic world of Jason Nelson’s New Media poetry and prose. He will read, click, and shudder in person and on the screen, over the speakers and through the keyboard. Join us for his electronic literature array.
Jason Nelson was raised a Oklahoma poet, but found the allure of electronic bits far too strong to remain moored in print. His projects include Hyperrhiz, a hypermedia literary journal [http://www.heliozoa.com], and Secret Technology. His work has appeared in a variety of print and online journals including Beehive (Brown University), Boomerang (UK), Epitome (Madrid), 3rdbed (NYC), Nowculture, Blue Moon Review and others. In addition his work has been featured in art galleries worldwide. Nelson has a B.A. in Cultural Geography from the University of Oklahoma and an M.F.A. in Poetry from Bowling Green State University. Next year he’ll be missing the Plains, while moving to Queensland, Australia to join the new media faculty in an innovative interdisciplinary program at Griffith University.
