AB - "Seattle Drift" is "[Jim] Andrews' first DHTML poem, written in the early days of the Web (1997), and marking a shift in his practice from visual poetry to a poetry in which he yields some of his control over the text to his readers. This poem, along with 'Enigma n' and the 'Stir Fry Texts' punctuate a vibrant period in his development as a Web artist in which he started to imbue his texts with behavior: responsiveness to carefully defined user input, motion triggered and controlled by interactivity, controlled randomness, and looped or open ended scheduling of the experience. [It] leads us to think about different poetic 'scenes' and how a text can enter and exit these poetic traditions through the deceptively simple mechanism of 'drifting.'" -- From <em>I Love E-Poetry</em>
