Prehistoric Digital Poetry
Explores pioneering works of digital poetry and
demonstrates how technological constraints that would seemingly
limit the aesthetics of poetry have instead extended and
enriched poetic discourse For the last five
decades, poets have had a vibrant relationship with computers
and digital technology. This book is a documentary study and
analytic history of digital poetry that highlights its major
practitioners and the ways that they have used technology to
foster a new aesthetic. Focusing primarily on programs and
experiments produced before the emergence of the World Wide Web
in the mid-1990s, C. T. Funkhouser analyzes numerous landmark
works of digital poetry to illustrate that the foundations of
today’s most advanced works are rooted in the rudimentary
generative, visual, and interlinked productions of the
genre’s prehistoric period. Since 1959, computers have
been used to produce several types of poetic output, including
randomly generated writings, graphical works (static, animated,
and video formats), and hypertext and hypermedia. Funkhouser
demonstrates how hardware, programming, and software have been
used to compose a range of new digital poetic forms. Several
dozen historical examples, drawn from all of the predominant
approaches to digital poetry, are discussed, highlighting the
transformational and multi-faceted aspects of poetic
composition now available to authors. This account includes
many works, in English and other languages, which have never
before been presented in an English-language publication. In
exploring pioneering works of digital poetry, Funkhouser
demonstrates how technological constraints that would seemingly
limit the aesthetics of poetry have instead extended and
enriched poetic discourse. As a history of early digital poetry
and a record of an era that has passed, this study aspires both
to influence poets working today and to highlight what the
future of digital poetry may hold.

Virtual Muse: Experiments in Computer Poetry
In this engaging, accessible memoir, Charles Hartman shows how computer programming has helped him probe poetry's aesthetic possibilities. He discusses the nature of poetry itself and his experiences with primitive computer-generated poetry programs and -- illustrated with sample computer-produced verses -- traces the development of more advanced hardware and software.The central question about this cyber-partnership, Hartman says, \"isn't exactly whether a poet or a computer writes the poem, but what kinds of collaboration might be interesting.\" He examines the effects of randomness, arbitrariness, and contingency on poetic composition, concluding that \"the tidy dance among poet and text and reader creates a game of hesitation. In this game, a properly programmed computer has a chance to slip in some interesting moves.\"

Reimagining Literary Analysis: Utilizing Artificial Intelligence to Classify Modernist French Poetry
Aligned with global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and multidisciplinary approaches integrating AI with sustainability, this research introduces an innovative AI framework for analyzing Modern French Poetry. It applies feature extraction techniques (TF-IDF and Doc2Vec) and machine learning algorithms (especially SVM) to create a model that objectively classifies poems by their stylistic and thematic attributes, transcending traditional subjective analyses. This work demonstrates AI’s potential in literary analysis and cultural exchange, highlighting the model’s capacity to facilitate cross-cultural understanding and enhance poetry education. The efficiency of the AI model, compared to traditional methods, shows promise in optimizing resources and reducing the environmental impact of education. Future research will refine the model’s technical aspects, ensuring effectiveness, equity, and personalization in education. Expanding the model’s scope to various poetic styles and genres will enhance its accuracy and generalizability. Additionally, efforts will focus on an equitable AI tool implementation for quality education access. This research offers insights into AI’s role in advancing poetry education and contributing to sustainability goals. By overcoming the outlined limitations and integrating the model into educational platforms, it sets a path for impactful developments in computational poetry and educational technology.

A DIALOGUE WITH CHATGPT ABOUT NONIDENTITY: A DEMONSTRATION OF A RANGE OF BASIC AI CAPABILITIES
The rise and proliferation of AIs is now upon us. It is hard to explain to someone who has not used them, but basically, you go to a website (and there are increasing numbers of them), enter a question or a prompt in normal language, and the AI will respond and even follow the thread of the discussion in a kind of continued dialogue. ChatGPT does many other things: it writes legal documents, composes poems, limericks, and haikus, translates texts from one language to another, analyzes dreams and gives psychological advice to personal quandaries, offers recipes, automates tasks, suggests fitness routines, enables some students to cheat by writing essays for them, writes code in various computer languages, and much more.

Technologies of Attention: Cultural Forms and Attention Theory at the Turn of the Century
More specifically, however, in this position piece I want to focus on one aspect of our current moment that is bringing the Cusp period to life for us with a new relevance: the crisis of attention that is considered foundational to the digital age. Modernist scholarship has explored extensively the relationship between psychology and literature in various ways, and the body of writing on stream-of-consciousness techniques might in itself be considered a form of attention studies; it rarely frames itself in that way but this would be a productive lens. Crucially, for the purpose of the study of culture, it might also enable us to think not just about modernist stream-of-consciousness prose techniques in relation to attention theory but also some of the formal fashions and characteristics of the later nineteenth century that have never fitted well with the \"Victorian\" paradigm but which do not fit either with high modernist paradigms. In this paper I will give a brief case study in relation to late nineteenth-century poetry—and particularly in relation to some of the anomalies of that period that we have not known what to make of or how to place.

Using Digital Tools and Collaborative Writing to Engage Students with Kamau Brathwaite's Poetry
Keenly aware of our students' needs for engaged online learning, I leaned into the collaborative methods afforded by digital tools to provide opportunities for student-led learning. [...]students would submit their draft responses to questions provided (see below) using a shared Microsoft Word document I sent by email and linked on our learning-management system course site. [...]using the Comments feature, they would add comments to other contributors' submissions and offer ways to improve; this was done via an asynchronous workshop for which students were coached on responding constructively. [...]all student authors would then be responsible for making changes to their own sections and including a brief biography as required by the journal's submission guidelines.
