Nate Pritts talking about H_NGM_N at the PANK blog:

 

1. How does an interactive poetry journal differ from a poetry journal?

The short answer here is to say – in lots of ways that I haven’t figured out yet.  I think one way has to do with dissemination.  If you have a poem published in a print journal, you have to hand or airlift the entire journal to a friend if you want them to read your poem.  And maybe that friend will read other poems in the journal.  With an interactive poetry journal, you can send your friend the direct link to your poem.  And maybe that friend will read other poems in the journal.  I think, since an interactive poetry journal is ostensibly free, the possibilities for promotion are increased – I can tell you that you should read H_NGM_N & give you the link to do so all at once.  And one contributor can post a direct link on his or her Facebook wall, or tweet about it, & you can then simply click & find yourself delivered unto the page itself.

Maybe the apparent immediacy of online publication provides a better network of energies – ie, if you like a poem of mine in an online journal, it easy to find other poems of mine fairly quickly.  It’s also easy to find my email address & write to me to tell me you liked it.  I think, in some way I can’t quite define, online publishing humanizes the process.
