Six Twitter poets showcase their work in this diverse anthology. From James Knight's 13-tweet preface: 6. Poetry has been given a lifeline by online social networking. The private and personal has become the public and universal. 7. All of the poets in this volume publish and collaborate on Twitter. Our words thrash and leap through the rapids of the timelines. 8. People don't usually have time for poetry. But poems popping up in timelines give instant sensation, gratification. 9. The tweet is the sonnet for the 21st Century. If a sonnet embodies elegant compression, a tweet is a mind-expanding miniature. 10. The tweet is the building block of many of the poems in this book. In some cases it's obvious, in others less so. 11. The poets in this anthology are diverse, but we share a playful attitude to words and an interest in hallucinatory subjectivity. 12. We come from the UK, the USA, Mexico, Australia. The internet brought us together, made us virtually a movement.
