Summary

MUDs are Multi-User Dimensions, online worlds created by language alone. Placing Irish poetry into the electronic age, this work explores the Internet and car culture, MUDs and moods. It creates a new kind of poetry from the online world's fissiparous language, elliptical, self-interrupting, and fizzing with invention.

MUDe Summary

MUDe by John Redmond

MUDs are Multi-User Dimensions, online worlds created by language alone. In a collection that throws Irish poetry into the electronic age, John Redmond explores the Internet and car culture, MUDs and moods. New forms of post-industrial community enable us to co-exist facelessly across time and distance, connected but solitary in the virtual realities of the motorway and the Internet. In the title poem, the reader becomes game-player in Redmond's fictional MUD, where a traditional Irish landscape blurs with fantasy elements. Redmond creates a new kind of poetry from the online world's fissiparous language, elliptical, self-interrupting, and fizzing with invention.
