Ever Wanted Prufrock to be Sugar High?

Now I know that such a question would raise some eyebrows.

Yes, we're still stalking hypertext poetry, but with a slightly different example. Actually you may be relieved by recognizing T.S Eliot's poem, "The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock". Yet this hypertext version of the poem has links to images, text, and audio. Just think of reading the demanding text without having to flit through pages and pages of references! It allows for a more consistent read; you wouldn't just guess or gloss parts you might not understand to finish the poem. The interaction with the poem is enhanced by hearing the poet's speech as well as access to textual reference within the poem.

This example of hypertext is more along the lines of innovative reading of traditional poetry. Yet, still an intriguing way to create a dialogue between the reader and the poet, as well as another audience. The individuals who created this hypertext version choose what kinds of images reflect the poem's meanings and intent.
