The Poetry Society

COPO (Cooperative Poetry and Community Politics) on digitalpoetry.net is a sociopolitical network for coauthored ekphrastic poetry and postmodern political commentary. If language is material, or matter, then COPO poems are interference patterns of waves of language because the creation of the poems is not observed. COPO manages pre-relativist experiences and incorporates the poetry written as part of the experience into a random relativist framework. Unlike writing that attempts to represent a visual scene accurately, automatic-ekphrastic poetry reflects subconscious human sentiment or a mental representation that may appear radically different from the actual scene. In doing so, COPO's dataset has the potential to expand the creative authenticity of artificial intelligence.
