Award-winning poet Janet Holmes presents F2F, a collection of free-verse poetry that speaks volumes with the briefest and scarcest of phrases. Drawing heavily from the compact linguistic style of modern text messaging Sending short messages to a smartphone, pager, PDA or other handheld device. Text messaging implies sending short messages generally no more than a couple of hundred characters in length. , F2F (shorthand for "face to face", that is, meeting someone in real life rather than in cyberspace) draws both upon modern experience and upon classic dichotomies of myth as it represents the technological communications of love. Two styles of typeface add to the distinct "voices" of the poems in this one-of-a-kind anthology for the twenty-first century. "Next time she looked": E had learned / the new tool's / language--// bent it to his / scheming / like his best old bow // the invisible target Invisible Target (Traditional Chinese: 男兒本色; Simplified Chinese: 儿子真彩色  // aches // to be seen // How E had / sped up the process / with his ethereal connections! // Darling boy--// I fall farther for you / farther daily--// hours he plays at it
