2.2 Timestamped‑Hypertext Poetry

Nguyen (2022) defines timestamped‑hypertext poetry as “a textual artifact whose meaning is co‑produced through the simultaneity of linguistic signifiers and extratextual temporal markers.” The inclusion of the date “24.06.21” functions not merely as a record but as a temporal anchor that invites readers to locate themselves within a specific historical moment—the early summer of 2021, a period marked by post‑COVID‑19 cultural re‑opening (Graham, 2022). Studies of similar works (e.g., Sunrise.05.09.20; Liu, 2020) demonstrate that such timestamps can generate “chronotopic resonance” (Bakhtin, 1981) when paired with evocative locales.

5.2 Ecocritical Readings

The beach as a liminal site resonates with Morton’s (2010) concept of “dark ecology,” wherein the boundary between self and environment is porous. Motherhood, as a biological process intertwined with ecological cycles, is thus reframed as a co‑creative act between human and non‑human worlds. The poem’s minimalism mirrors the negative space of a shoreline—what is not written (the ellipsis) becomes the tide that fills the void. MomComesFirst.24.06.21.Brianna.Beach.Give.Me.A....
