3. There is no on-line one-stop site for hyperpoetry; materials are scattered and as ephemeral as the rest of the net. One fairly stable site and at the same time the home of the most reputable hypertext publisher is. "Penetration" by Robert Kendall, available in the Reading Room there, is a fine example of what I am trying to show; it also is a moving poem.
