Twelve Digital Poems by Marko Niemi

These visual poems are animated through the use of Web-based scripting functions. They will each open in a new window for your pleasure and edification.


60 letter dash

after valdur mikita




allez martina!

after eugen gomringer

The words used in this piece are from Gomringer's poem nimm mi, written in Swiss-German. I'm certainly not an expert on Swiss-German, but the following translations might come pretty close (but, then again, they might not):
nimm/nimmt -> take/takes
mi -> me
i -> i
si -> her
nöd -> not
di -> you

"Martina" refers to the Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis, who made her return to tennis circles this year, after finishing her career already once a few years ago. Unnecessary to say, I'm a big fan of hers...
