POETRISHY #2 is out online! https://t.co/yE7qDbV4nv Come for the algorithmic poetry, stay & think with us about how poetry makes meaning & what that means for mathematical modeling of semantic evolution. With grateful thanks to @DigiFutures for their support!
The BPI 2024 Annual Reader Ben Okri in this week's Guardian: "For too long literature has been defined narrowly by one set of people. But being human is a vast thing, and that very vastness will stretch and even re-imagine how the human experience can be expressed in literature."
