In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee's first website went live at CERN, alongside early web browsers, introducing the World Wide Web to the public. This invention enabled hyperlinked information sharing globally. It transformed poetry dissemination, collaboration, and archiving, paving the way for online literary journals, digital poetry, and unprecedented global connectivity for writers.

The launch of the first website and browser in 1991 revolutionized the landscape of literature, enabling poets like Eileen Myles to reach global audiences through online platforms. This shift not only democratized poetry publishing but also fostered new forms of digital poetry and interactive literary experiences.
