What the book is about

An experiment in human and AI co-creation: not an AI editing a draft, but a human and a machine writing the poems from scratch. The book documents how it was done and presents the result.

Around the poems sit short essays on authorship and creativity (author or editor?), a short love story, afterwords by the AI and by the author, and a behind-the-scenes look at the process.
