Or does poetry itself create feeling where none existed before?\n \n\n \n--\n \n\n \nA timely and imaginative collection.- Kirkus Reviews\n \n\n \nWhether you're an advocate for AI's creative potential or someone deeply skeptical, this book gives you just the experience you were hoping for-and then some. - Independent Book Review\n \n\n \nA provocative, creative poetry collection that reimagines the difference between human and machine, The Poetry Contest is offbeat and rewarding. - Clarion Forword Review\n
