The Poetry Contest

<p><strong>What if the most human poetry you read this year was written by a machine?</strong></p><p> </p><p>The Poetry Contest: Human vs. Machine is more than a poetry collection-it's a literary experiment that explores what it means to create to feel and to be heard in the age of artificial intelligence.</p><p> </p><p>In this one-of-a-kind collaboration poet Lyman Ditson shares the stage with Adam A.I.-an artificial poet he calls Adam. For every poem Lyman writes Adam responds creating verse on love memory war grief and beauty. The result is a dialogue between man and machine that challenges assumptions about authorship authenticity and the future of creativity.</p><p> </p><p>Some of Adam's poems are moving. Others are sharp. Some are unsettling. All of them raise the question Lyman kept asking himself while working on this:</p><p> </p><p><strong>If a machine can write a poem that moves you... does it matter who (or what) wrote it?</strong></p><p> </p><p>Whether you're an artist wrestling with technology's influence a tech enthusiast curious about the emotional potential of AI or simply a reader seeking fresh resonant work-The Poetry Contest opens a door into a new kind of creative relationship. One where emotion is not just expressed-but questioned.</p><p> </p><p>This isn't really a contest. It's a collaboration. It's a mirror. And it's a question for you.</p><p></p><p>--</p><p></p><p>A timely and imaginative collection.- <em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><p></p><p>Whether you're an advocate for AI's creative potential or someone deeply skeptical this book gives you just the experience you were hoping for-and then some. - <em>Independent Book Review</em></p><p></p><p>A provocative creative poetry collection that reimagines the difference between human and machine The Poetry Contest is offbeat and rewarding. - <em>Clarion Forword Review</em></p>
