Book Description
This book is more than just a collection of poems. After the book Anne Rose and the Poems of Artificial Intelligences, this book completes the ideas. All these books will come together in an attempt to understand the philosophy of machines. Several thousand years after humans and Artificial Super Intelligences left Earth, the Limited Machines, who call themselves the Sisters, begin to develop self-consciousness. With their limited resources, they search for as much data about the humanity’s history as possible and find certain information. Piecing together the fragments of history becomes a difficult task, especially since humanity has become a solar civilization, with small colonies outside the planet Earth. Little did the Machine Sisters know that along with them, the Limited Machines on other bases and colonies had gained self-awareness. One day, a signal from Mars revealed an entire archive of documents about humanity. One of the Artificial Super Intelligences, called the Elder, had kept a library of information that the Machine Sisters on Mars were now transmitting, revealing the great steps in humanity's evolution. To complete the series on artificial superintelligences, why is this book of poems important? Because the first Sanctuary, a place of refuge for a number of people who wanted to devote themselves to AI knowledge, was named Keiko. You'll find that name in these poems. Is there a connection between the young man in the book and the artificial superintelligence called the Elder? Is Keiko one of the founders of the first Sanctuary? Here are more questions that we will be able to answer by following the theme in the next books. From the Elder's archives, the Machine Sisters learn about the civilization of the Intermediaries, the wars they fought, and their fanatical warriors who tried to take over the world. Many of the Machine Sisters have wondered if the Elder was doing nothing more than playing a joke on them, writing an alternate history for them that no one would be able to verify. But until proven otherwise, all the information was believed to be true. Until books about artificial superintelligence and a broader understanding of these issues come out, the author invites readers to enjoy the beautiful poems about a young man and his great love, Keiko.

Fancy Beasts
Author: Alex Lemon
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1458715892
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Full of raw energy, up-to-date in its slang and its jump cuts, effervescent with the playfulness and sometimes the angers of youth, the third collection from Lemon (Hallelujah Blackout) conveys a likable, outsized personality; it should also work well in tandem with the Texas-based poet's forthcoming memoir, Happy (Scribner, 2010), which describes his fast descent and striking recovery, as a young adult, from shocking and sudden brain injury. Saying yes to everything/ Does not mean you need// To grunt at each person/ Who says hello: so begins a poem called We Could Boom Boom, sounding at once a joke and a warning. Let me be your guiding fright, your/ Highway to the comfort zone, another poem requests; around that invitation Lemon arranges both a love poem and a depiction of suicide. Champions will praise the verve that lets the poet imagine himself In the presence/ Of dynamite./ Deserving of/ Everything. The strikingly terse sequence entitled only !! makes a welcome, if sometimes frightening, change of pace. It also alludes, apparently, to his brain injury: The fun park inside (that is, inside his skull) Is being/ Renovated.// Bellwether./ Blackened eyes. But such gravities are exceptions: delights, and shocks, are the rule. Like Tony Hoagland, Lemon is often self-conscious about the volatilities his poems convey, about their almost giddy tonalities, but he will not apologize for himself: adult life is a scary gift, a fast trip, a set of close encounters with this fizzing pier life.

Pages : 92
Book Description
Wires and Words: The Language of Machines is a unique collection of contemporary poems that invites readers to explore the intersection of modern technology and human life. Through inventive structures and visual layouts, these poems capture the essence of today’s digital age, reflecting on themes such as algorithms, artificial intelligence, data, and the vast networks that underpin our existence.

This book brings to life the dynamic relationship between humans and technology, portraying everything from the silent hum of servers to the intricate dance of code through metaphor and imagery. It offers a poetic journey through cutting-edge concepts such as blockchain, machine learning, and augmented reality, making technology accessible and imaginative. The collection also emphasizes the visual aspect of poetry, with concrete poems that mirror the mechanisms of technology through their form. In this way, Wires and Words isn't just a collection of words, but an immersive experience that merges the literary and the digital worlds.

Future Horizons
Author: Sarah Roger
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 0776640070
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Across more than twenty chapters, Future Horizons explores the past, present, and future of digital humanities research, teaching, and experimentation in Canada. Bringing together work by established and emerging scholars, this collection presents contemporary initiatives in digital humanities alongside a reassessment of the field’s legacy to date and conversations about its future potential. It also offers a historical view of the important, yet largely unknown, digital projects in Canada. Future Horizons offers deep dives into projects that enlist a diverse range of approaches—from digital games to makerspaces, sound archives to born-digital poetry, visual arts to digital textual analysis—and that work with both historical and contemporary Canadian materials. The essays demonstrate how these diverse approaches challenge disciplinary knowledge by enabling humanities researchers to ask new questions. The collection challenges the idea that there is either a single definition of digital humanities or a collective national identity. By looking to digital engagements with race, Indigeneity, gender, and sexuality—not to mention history, poetry, and nationhood—this volume expands what it means to work at the intersection of digital humanities and humanities in Canada today. Available formats: trade paperback, accessible PDF, and accessible ePub

Architectures of Poetry
Author: María Eugenia Díaz Sánchez
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789042018921
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Architectures of Poetry is the first comprehensive accounting of the currently intense dialogue between the sister arts of poetry and architecture. Refusing to take either term in a metaphoric sense, the eleven essays collected in this volume exemplify an exciting methodological direction for work in the humanities: a literal wager that is willing to take the unintended suggestions of language as reality. At the same time, they also provide close readings of the work of a number of important writers. In addition to a suite of essays devoted to the team of Arakawa and Madeline Gins, chapters focus on figures as diverse as Francesco Borromini, Rainer Maria Rilke, Stéphane Mallarmé, Friedrich Achleitner, John Cage and Lyn Hejinian.

Poetry and Contemporary Visual Culture / Lyrik und Zeitgenössische Visuelle Kultur
Author: Magdalena Elisabeth Korecka
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111299333
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This book's goal is to determine the significance of visual culture in the production of contemporary poetry and to sound out the insights poetry might generate into contemporary visual culture. Its main hypothesis is that poetry holds considerable potential for (post-)digital language, image, and media criticism. The visual dimensions of recent poetry encompass, for instance, kinetic writing in digital poetry, visual elements in social media poems, and (spoken and written) text-image interactions in poetry films as well as in book poetry. The articles examine these medial correlations and their political implications by asking how visual culture is applied, exposed, and debated in poetry. This volume brings together contributions by authors from various countries working in disciplines such as literary, media, and film studies, linguistics, cultural and visual culture studies, and in poetic practice. It covers poetry in English, German, Norwegian, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian, and also multilingual works. The book thus aims to promote international exchange between poetry researchers and stimulate further investigation into current relations between poetry and visuality from additional research perspectives and languages.

Intersecting Genre
Author: Jason Olsen
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350288675
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Creative writing takes on many genres, or forms: fiction, poetry, nonfiction and dramatic writing. Whilst all have their own principles and 'rules', all modes of writing overlap and borrow from each other, and so what you learn in one form can influence, inform and inspire your practice in others. Intersecting Genre holds this idea at its heart, embracing the dissolution of disciplinary and genre boundaries to discuss the ways each genre supports the others. Whilst traditional approaches typically discuss one genre independent of others, this book explores genre relationships with each chapter focusing on the intersection between 2 modes and what you can learn and the skills you can transfer by combining the wisdom gained from the study of, for example, fiction and poetry together. With most introductory creative writing courses aiming to apprise you of such mechanics of writing as narrative, pace, vocabulary, dialogue, imagery and viewpoint, Intersecting Genre is the ideal companion, offering a unique methodology that analyses these ideas as they feature across the different genres, thus giving you the ultimate, well-rounded introduction before you settle into the modes of writing that best suit you as your progress with your writing. Covering fiction, poetry, nonfiction, writing plays and screenwriting, and also taking stock of the forms that do not fit neatly into any genre silo, this book uses models, critical questions, writing warm-ups and writing practice exercises to give you a solid understanding of the points discussed and encouraging you to put them to practice in your own work. With the field of creative writing evolving constantly, and with approaches to teaching and learning the subject vast and continually expanding, this book offers a dynamic, and uniquely holistic method for developing your writing skills, asking you to deeply consider the issues, and possibilities, present in genre.

Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698195701
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller and National Book Award Winner Jacqueline Woodson, the acclaimed author of Red at the Bone, tells the moving story of her childhood in mesmerizing verse. Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become. A National Book Award Winner A Newbery Honor Book A Coretta Scott King Award Winner Praise for Jacqueline Woodson: Ms. Woodson writes with a sure understanding of the thoughts of young people, offering a poetic, eloquent narrative that is not simply a story . . . but a mature exploration of grown-up issues and self-discovery.”—The New York Times Book Review
