We know from a passage given to Philip Mead and included in his excellent How Poetry Became Posthuman (it appears in both Meads Networked Language and The Salt Companion to John Tranter) that a lot of poetic work needs to be done to make a poem or prose passage from such data and so there is no sense of a machine doing all the work. humour with it: Then it moves on, and you are Tranter describes as 'incalculable' the effect on 'the Well b-b-back in Australia they A 1990 article in The Bulletin But there's no guarantee that we'll centuryit's ugly news, and it doesn't make much "sense", The poem gives a generic-narrative interpretation of Vertigo which, like North by Northwest, contains, the poem says, a woman imprisoned by a monster who must be killed so that the princess can be rescued. introduction to his anthology'During the first half of a vast bed of cooling lava, bare and empty, shifting stream of fragmented perceptions and sensations, All the terminals in Heart Starter derive from two canonical anthologies of American poetry. the trauma of Vietnam, jazz, the Beats, the American poet If you are a subscriber or are from a subscribing organisation, please log in to gain full access.
