it was good to see you there last night, Corrine. It was such an enjoyable workshop resulting in potential poems on my chosen object, a chive flower. Also the approach can be applied to any natural form. So, many thanks to @northseapoets.bsky.social and @kathleenjamie.bsky.social

@corinnaboard.bsky.social Hi Corinna, I enjoyed your reading at @sophiaargyris.bsky.social launch very much. The mention of Icarus was very apt as I'm working on a poem featuring him.
I look forward to hearing and reading them again in the recording.

β€˜A machine-shaped hand’: Read a story from OpenAI’s new creative writing model Posting the piece online, OpenAI’s Sam Altman said this is the first time he has been β€œreally struck” by AI writing

we’re going to have to talk sensibly and honestly about the ramifications of this very soon. for literature, for publishing, for the assessment of talent, for the creative writing degree. Anyway - first time I’ve read any AI fiction or poetry and thought: Oh.

Poetry Fundamentals - A Seven-Week Course Taught by the North Sea Poets | North Sea Poets A series of seven classes, each one delivered weekly by a different member of North Sea Poets, with a Q&A at the end of each session.

Just flagging the inaugural NorthSeaPoets Poetry Fundamentals course here … It’s selling somewhat faster than we’d anticipated - so don’t leave booking until the last minute, as places are limited on this one.
