I wanted to include weird science, math and maybe a bit of sass in this poem to temper the heavy theme of grief. Love having dialogue and character too. My recent work uses odd facts as inspiration and a way into poems. I never know where they will take me.

"Authors Take on AI, File Lawsuits"
"Lawyers representing authors in several of the suits, Joseph Saveri and Matthew Butterick, say these AI language models 'remix the copyrighted works of thousands of authors....without consent, compensation, or credit,' according to a statement they issued in June. Many of the books likely came from websites, or 'shadow libraries,' that distribute pirated books and publications, the attorneys say."

What Sparks Poetry:
Duy Đoàn on Language as Form
"The only fixed form I think I have ever wanted to understand is the pantoum. The fact that it's a Southeast Asian form really appealed to me. From what I know, it's an old Malaysian form. All of the lines are repeated once in a predetermined order. I've seen lots of variations when it comes to the order. The poet decides. These repetitions bring about a unique musical quality, which is one of the big draws of the pantoum. But the thing I like most about the form is its transparency." |
