Every day something delivered to your pop box that’s been circulating on the Net like a lost river... By the time you get a work of genius, it’s been altered by each passer... Has it improved? Or been bastardized? Who wrote it? We’re still tracking the following work of genius. Will the poet who wrote it please line up to my left? About Poetry is sweet delta for these poetic coagulations, such as this “scrolly.”

A Scrolly is a self-propelled moving image poem, legible only on a computer, comprised of text/graphics/text symbols as graphics. Coined by Bob Holman on May 19, 1997, “scrolly” is derived from “cranky,” the method of scene changing where the backdrop is painted on a large scroll which is cranked behind the performers to give the illusion of their moving.

>>>> YOU ARE LOVED <<<< >>

The closest we could get to our author was one Douglas Rothschild, the poet, who blessed us with this Unknown Poet Benediction:

This document was fished in from the Net. It gives us back a moment when poets would recite their work & have it carried by their audiences from place to place. Eventually, the author was lost, but the work remains. Perhaps this is a greater moment in the life of poetry than the simple ego building of “Great Name” publishing. To the Author, whoever, & wherever, you are -- Thank You.
