Would love to see this work in app form and see how much farther the poet could experiment and push the text. Incredible work.

Conceptually this collection is so cool but it's a good example of concept obscuring content and readability. I think folks who are more engaged with coding and technology might enjoy this a lot more, I just wasn't the best audience for how technically the concept was carried out. I do plan to read more of Lillian-Yvonne Bertram's poetry in the future though, since I like how ambitiously she's working with form.

In this poetry collection Bertram addresses both black men and boys being killed by police, and the lack of encouragement for blacks studying STEM, particularly computer science. She uses public-domain programs in different languages to create computer-generated poems and wordplay. It's all very interesting and thought-provoking. Some is unreadable unless you can read code (I can't, but I am assuming the code makes sense).
