"Jason Edward Lewis is a digital media poet, artist, and software designer."
"Poems for Excitable Mobile Media, the P.o.E.M.M Cycle (exhibited collectively as Vital to the Public Welfare) include several highly personal meditations on identity designed to be exhibited on large touchscreens or as experiences for tablets. These poems transform text into animated actors, focusing the reader's attention as words loop, plunge, and disperse. Kinetic poetry dances with the gestures of the hand as it too ripples across live screens. Depending on the stories being told, the words may follow a reader's finger across the interface, reveal themselves upon pressure, or flee and scatter to avoid contact. Lewis' P.o.E.M.M Cycle takes advantage of the haptic interface of phones and tablets in order to produce an embodied performance between reader and text." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
