| description | The aim of this paper is to investigate the different ways in which the contemporary italian poets approach the inevitable interference between poetry and Web in the age of global communication. The computer technology provides not only a specific vocabulary for new materials for metaphors, but also new methods of composition (such as hypertext), and also it accelerates the circulation of text on the Web.

The results of this analysis show that most of the italian poets has resisted to the contamination between new media and poetry: only in the last ten years the creative experimentation through Internet become real (as the technique of the “sought poems”). |
