Memoirs from Hijiyama

"Memoirs from Hijiyama" is an "exquisitely designed site [that] contains poetry in several modes: in lines of verse, as visual poetry, and as an e-poem that responds to the reader's symbolic presence in the text: the pointer. The site is conceptualized 'as a grave' made of [web] pages, words 'flung to the far corners / of the earth' (quoted from the site manifesto). Each page consists of images and words arranged and offer the reader two ways of viewing the composition: discover (which keeps links hidden for reader to explore the surface of the image for them) and unearth (which provides a sepia tone for the background and reveals the links in the text, along with useful labels for them). Verbally it is also a collage of voices: from the victims to the pilot of the Enola Gay, who delivered the bomb in Hiroshima." -- From I Love E-Poetry
