Taroko Gorge

"Nick Montfort develops computational art and poetry, often collaboratively." 

"The lines from this nature poem invite readers to embark on a meditative journey through a famous canyon in Taiwan's Taroko National Park. As the words flow, river-like, on the screen and the poem unfolds, first time readers should read until the ending reveals itself [to] them, after which we suggest looking at the source code. Originally programmed in Python, and then ported to HTML and JavaScript, this poem has inspired many to rework its source code to explore a variety topics in a way that retains its form. This e-poem is the seed for a native e-poetic form." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
