Deena Larsen
In 1988, Deena Larsen tried to glue poems about women
in a Colorado mining town with model trains and embroidery thread. It
didn't work. A friend said, "Try HyperCard" --and Deena has been writing
hypertexts ever since. The immediate result of that suggestion was Marble
Springs , now a collaborative hypertext where readers can add their
own stories and connections.
Deena Larsen
is a Denver native. She received her BA in English and Logic from the
University of Northern Colorado and won the Best Thesis of the Year award
for Nansense Ya Snorsted: A logical look at nonsense. 
After
working for a small software company, she found herself stranded in Japan
and stayed for a few years. She came back to Colorado to get an MA in
English at the University of Colorado and wrote one of the first MA thesis
on hypertext: Hypertext and Hyperpossibilities.
Marble Springs, her
first hypertext, weaves the lives of women in a small nineteenth century
Colorado mining town into a tapestry that invites the reader to join in.
She also edited William Dickey's collection of hyperpoems, forthcoming
from Eastgate.
Her most recent hypertext, Samplers: Nine Vicious Little Hypertexts, explores the relationship between structure and content in a series of geometric quilt patterns.
She currently resides in Boulder, Colorado with her cat Sophie and other assorted living creatures.
