Contact and Booking
I speak on the collision of poetry and computation, and what it means for writers now. Frequent subjects:
Computers Killed the Creative Writing Star — what AI is as a linguistic technology, and how the writing classroom and the writing life should meet tools that generate text
How I Wrote Certain of My Books — a craft talk on the experimental methods behind the work, book by book
Bias in large language models — what these systems reveal about race, language, and value, drawn from projects like Warpland
Computational poetics and the history of computer-generated writing — including the Output anthology (MIT Press)
Poetry and artificial intelligence more broadly — what AI does to and for the art
I give keynotes, craft talks, and panel conversations on these subjects, and readings from across all my books. I can craft a talk for the needs of your program or event,
