Meaning of holopoem | Babel Free

Noun CEFR B2

Definitions

A poem which takes the form of a hologram.

Examples

“The tiny square of glass inside looked pristine, untouched. But when Kac held it up between thumb and forefinger and aimed a small, hand-held laser at it, the word AGORA appeared in lurid green letters on the opposite wall. This is his holopoem: In his native Portuguese it means "now." But the name engraved on the outside of the titanium case is ÁGORA — a subtle but important distinction. With the accent mark, the word in Portuguese changes meaning, from "now" to "place," as in the ancient Greek word "agora" for "gathering place." (The Greek agora was akin to the Roman forum.)”
