The Mother country
Description
A short hypertext poem which subverts notions of Mother Country by thinking through the obverse: 'a mother becomes a country'. The work repurposes the 'look and feel' of other of Caney's poems, for instance, Time's Daughter, through reuse of html coding and animated gifs found in that work. The re-use of other of the author's sites is part of a long standing research into intertextuality, identity and online poetics.
