Announcing The New River

The New River is a revolving archive of hypertext and hypermedia literature and art, produced by Virginia Tech in conjunction with BPQ, edited by Edward Falco.

Ed writes "I'm interested in receiving submissions of original and unpublished hypertext and hypermedia. I would like to see lyric and narrative art that exploits the computer as a site for creative work. Since The New River will be a web-based archive, work produced in HTML is preferred. However, stand-alone hypertext/media will also be considered--to be published, perhaps, as work available for downloading." Interested in submitting? See the BPQ guidelines for details...
