Over the course of my life to this point, I've written three "books" of poetry. Each has been distributed only in digital format.
The Gospel of Echo was the culmination of everything I had learned in college. I wrote it shortly after and it was published by BlazeVox along with two weird short stories. It was concerned with ripples, influence, chaos, and the notion that speaking is not different than doing. The fear is causing harm with speech.
The Book of the Damned was among the projects that were predicated on the notion that computer-human poetry generator was somehow poo-poohed by the powers that be. It contains poems that were both partly generated and written using traditional poetry techniques. The idea was that you had to condemn half the book. The fear is being irrationally excluded based on broadscale misunderstanding of the approach involved.
The Devourer was unconcerned with establishing the legitimacy of NGRAMS, templates, or other algorithmic techniques employing applied statistics intentionally or accidentally. The Devourer is concerned with evaluating our commitment to live.
