exchange of letters (AHMW #3)
A collaboration with Emma Stewart (itch, twitter). A sixteen-page zine, collecting nine computational poems. Each piece consists of a conversation between the authors conducted through Markov chain poetry.
It's recommended that these poems be read out loud—or at least attempted to.

A Markov chain is a model of what item in a sequence will occur next and at what probabilities, given some number of previous events. By choosing from these probabilities randomly, new sequences can be generated.
Markov chains are a swarm of mechanical wasps—text is their wood, which they chew and digest into a mushy pulp before reshaping it into a new form to make their home in.
