Writing has not died; I don’t think it ever will. Yet, like any living thing, it will adapt. The ecology of the written word has changed dramatically. The rise of social media has changed the way that people think, interact, and express themselves. We generate huge volumes of written content every day. We trade jokes, opinions, and anecdotes. We publish blogs, articles, photos, videos and music. The expressive force and entertainment value of these media are immense. Add to this the proliferation of Internet programming, some of it high quality, which provides a steady stream of comedy, drama, and romance. Poetry and short-form prose can seem like mice under the feet of superfauna. Yet I think poetry and prose can remain relevant by adapting to this new environment. JimPerry140 is an exploration of poetry and prose adapted specifically to the ecology of the Internet. “140” attempts Twitter-ready writing of 140 characters or less. “200” is a blog of prose and poems of 200 words or less. “1024” pairs words and images. All content is pushed out on social media; this site is a repository. All writing found here is mine alone. All quotations are fictitious.
