Generative Poetry use a program or algorithm to generate poetic text from a database of words and phrases written or gathered by the digital poet. In generative poetic works, a program or algorithm generates a poem or series of poems based on a lexicon or set of lines developed by the authors. Generative poetry calls into question the role of the author, the division between human and machine learning, and the tension between material and ephemera in the digital poetic text.

The data driving these artworks are extractions from the database of a Generative Poetry artwork.
