Reviews
Computers can play chess. So, can they write poetry? As Hartman points out, even people who don't read poetry uphold it as a test of true intelligence: "The ability to write poems is the talisman by which we'll know that computers have really arrived." In this fascinating book, Hartman explores what he has learned of human poetry by attempting to create computer poetry programs and, further, by attempting to write a single poem--a dialogue of mind and body--with a computer as compositional partner. As he describes his own process, he also engages us with the intricate questions he raises about what makes poetry work or not work. An absorbing, authoritative, and astonishingly accessible book.
