Summary/Abstract: Wide concept covering a large variety of poetry experiments, from animated poetry to computer-generated poetry, the digital poetry, as part of the heterogeneous electronic literature, offers new approaches based on the multicursal labyrinthic construction of the literary text. This segment of ergodic literature determined a shift of focus from the binomial author-text to a more complex „textual machineryˮ. Thus, as the author is gradually replaced by a computer program and as the reader is replaced by a reader-user, the need to re-examine the act of writing and reading poetry emerges. Therefore, the present study analyses the manner in which the human component manifests in the field of digital poetry.
