I'm going to be completely honest, I don't like poetry. But I respect it. I think the appeal and the idea is nice but it just doesn't speak to me. Reading this chapter was a bit challenging to try and find interest in it but I liked how it talked about the early forms of e-lit poetry. I liked how it talked about how machines got into the world of e-lit, I liked learning about that. I liked how this chapter went into detail about different programing types and the technology behind the creation of poetry.
For my reference I picked the Cent Mille milliards de poems book. I thought it was very cool and interesting that the reader could make their own poems out of the book. I think the idea of this book is very unique and I love how hands on it is for the reader. The poems might not make sense but I think that's the beauty behind it. While experimenting with it, none of mine made sense. I tried to make them make sense but I couldn't and I thought that was kinda cool in a way.
I agree with you about how cool it is to create poems from other poems and how it doesn't make sense. I think there is a weird beauty behind not understand the poem. But how on earth do you not like poetry? There is so much that falls under poetry that maybe you have just yet to find the right fit for you. I hate writing haikus but I didn't swear off the entire genre. I hope you find poetry that speaks to you!!
ReplyDeleteDid you make a Cent Mille milliards de poems poem? :)
ReplyDeletePoetry isn't my absolute favorite. Sometimes I get confused on what they mean or what they're talking about. And I like how even though you don't like poetry, you can find the beauty in it. I think that is the point of what poetry is, to write things or events in a new way.
