My review of @CpPress series of computer generated/mediated writing (mostly, excitingly, poetry!), Using Electricity, is up at @parisreview -- fascinating works by @aparrish, @nickmofo, @programmatology, @RuMboya, @rafapyp, @rrrrrroa, and many others

“Counterpath Press’s series of now thirteen computer-generated books … offers a refreshing alternative to the fantasia of terror and wonder that we’ve all been subjected to since the public release of ChatGPT.”

So psyched to have part 2 of my spy poem in summer issue of @parisreview
8 Jun 2023
“Whenever I went on too long about Antwerp
The doctor would quietly descend the two steps
To the kitchen and pour a cold French white
Into a tumbler, so as not to incriminate himself.”
From “Antwerp (2)” by @jonthirkield in our new Summer issue.

I am very late on this--here are the opening 3 lines of my poem "Drop" in @_conjunctions amazing and horrowing Earth Elegies issue. Deeply grateful to have my voice among this concert of voices. Please find a copy and read everything in it. Our minds are all part of the Earth.

Everlasting layers of ideas, images, feelings, have fallen upon your brain softly as light. —Thomas De Quincey

A stark governmental example of #codingtheself / coding subjugated identities based on the idea/possibility of engineering your visual identity through DNA. "Called DNA phenotyping. Scientists use it to analyze genes for traits like skin color, eye color and ancestry."

In Xinjiang, Chinese police are using the blood and faces of an oppressed minority to craft dystopian technologies that may not even work. For years, they’ve been publishing their findings in respected international journals. W/ @suilee nytimes.com/2019/12/03/busin…

Here is another, actually quite visually beautiful (like quartz), story attesting to the Internet's opposition to nature.

This is what the Internet actually looks like to nature.

There are no flowers on the Internet. @nytimes Nature isn't a metaphor. Internet is the opposite of nature.

Fantastic poems by Shane McCrae @akasomeguy framed by a rare example of really well done illustration and digital/visual storytelling by the @NewYorker (but it's still really about the poems!)
