Correlations between Twitter and poetry
Some are saying Twitter is the rebirth of widespread poetry as it is geared toward very short communications. Other argue the novel is out because printing books is not environmentally friendly. In between, there is the short story. When, other than this class, was the last time you read one? And yet, the short story was in the early 20th century a major literary form that made many a career (Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, etc.).
Does technology and social norms effect the forms of literature we are attracted to?
