Dearest all,
I’ve recently finished the first few poems of a speech
to text poetics project. And the resulting poems are
PRINT based so I’m attempting a return to paper. The
website below has a description of the project and
links to the first few poems. But briefly: I take
media files (speeches, movies, ambient noise, radio
etc.) and record the audio through a speech to text
program. The program, being trained to my voice, reads
everything wrong and spits out these long single
spaced files of awkward text and phrases loosely based
on the original. Think of it as a translation of a
translation of a translation of a translation….the
code beneath our language. I then reform those text
files into poetry (using certain rules).

I would love to hear thoughts on if these poems (and
the project is compelling), do they work for you, just
nay thoughts really. I know this isn’t really a new
idea, but my first few attempts turned out such
interesting poems, I wanted to take it further. And
lastly, anyone know of any print mags or journals that
might be interested in something like this?
The URL again (just to be cheeky):

Cheers and thanks….. Jason Nelson
