Lessons learned:

• Getting players to interact with text on a screen is difficult. In my limited timeframe for this piece, I had to sacrifice a more elegant UI-based solution for explicit instructions on the first page of the collection.
• Interactive media present writers with numerous tools to model the behaviors they want readers to undertake. In last november, the behavior I wanted was for a reader to re-interpret the poems from my context to their own, so I experimented with different ways of allowing them to do so. This toggling effect was by far the most successful.
