As a pastKaplan Scholar at Northwestern, I brought my education full circle by takingHumanities 325 (Technologies of Language) in winter 2017. In this class, we discussed the philosophy of language, and, much to my enjoyment, got to tackle digitization of an old book of our choice. I chose Herbert'sThe Temple because I saw digitizing shape poetry as an interesting design challenge. How could I recreate the original experience of reading a book of shape poems online? This repository reflects my exploration of and efforts to answer this question.
