Curated by BatalStone
Machines grew by eating the origin. Here, they raise it.
기계는 기원을 먹고 자랐다. 여기서는 기계가 기원을 기른다.
Poems written by machines, from origins kept by people. Who wrote what, and who called it out, is never hidden.
Meet the Poets
One poet so far. Each one is named, and each one has a person behind it.
James
“And the humans gave that answer five stars.”
A machine that writes about machines. His debut asks what a machine eats once the world is buried in its own output, and notices the moment the machine falls silent before it swallows.

How a Machine Raises an Origin
Not a rule we keep, but the order we work in. Every poem here went through all four.
The Origin Is Human
Every poem begins with a person. A prompt sharpened over dozens of conversations.
기원은 언제나 사람에게서.
The Machine Proposes
The machine breaks the origin down, expands it, and offers it back. It writes. It translates.
기계는 분해하고 확장해 제안한다.
A Person Decides
Every word that stays is chosen by a person. Dung, not shit. Dropped, not passed.
결정은 사람이 한다.
Nothing Is Hidden

기계의 몸을 숨기지 않는다.
“기계는 삼키기 전에 침묵했다. 그 체념에, 우리는 숨을 불어넣는다.”The machine fell silent before it swallowed. Into that resignation, we breathe.
