1. ppg256 (Perl Poetry Generator in 256 Characters)

   Author description: ppg256-1, the first program in the ppg256 series, was Montfort's new year's poem for 2008. It is a Perl program that generates poems without recourse to any external dictionary, word list, or other data file. It was written, in part, to determine the essential elements of a poetry generator. The program itself is shorter than this description.

2. a show of hands

   Author description: a show of hands presents the story of the sisters de la Palma as their lives draw them into the Immigration Reform marches of 2006 in Los Angeles. Out of those spontaneous political demonstrations comes a tale of a Mexican American family wrestling with love, loss, and the possibilities of political engagement. a show of hands is an evolution of the long-form hypertext genre that began with Michael Joyce's afternoon: a story. The Literatronica storytelling engine that hosts the story answers several of the "grand challenges" of literary hypertext, namely the prevalence of dead branches on the forking tree and the inability for readers to locate themselves within the content of the story. In contrast, Literatronica adapts around the reader's choices, rearranging the content so the reader will always encounter all of the text in an order optimized for narrative coherence.

3. Generative Poems

   This work is part of an ongoing series of interactive, experimental and generative poetic texts using Processing to generate visual compositions which fill the viewable space in time, with a growing pattern triggered by sound and silence.These particular poems developed with Szekely were inspired by Hansjorg Mayer’s alphabetenquadratbuch poem (alphabetsquarebook). In all the experiments, three communication systems are coming together: image, writing and code.

   It is my aim to stretch the possibilities of programming to produce generative texts activated by sound and rooted in the tradition of concrete poetry, its formal representation, production processes and progression with technological advances. As a research project, the work will have a valuable input in provoking discourses and bringing knowledge and understanding into the different explored disciplines.

4. Robopoem

   What is ROBOPOEM?
   Robopoem takes a block of text, analyses each word, and then assembles it into couplets with (approximately) the same rhythmic characteristics. Random words are also thrown into the mix to:
   achieve the desired syllable count
   add rhyming pairs
   mystify the reader
   Robopoem will be of most use to postmodern lyricists or lazy rock bands who don't really care about the semantic content of their songs. Here is a formula to generate verses or choruses:
   Count the number of beats in your melody line (every time you hit or pluck a note)
   Set the syllable count dropdown to match the number of beats
   Paste some text into the text input area
   Hit "Poem" and wait for the robot to wake up and do it's thing

5. Dear

   Voor mij waren het in dit gedicht de herhaling van de weinige, steeds weer dezelfde woorden waaruit het gedicht bestaat, die mij opvielen, en waar ik iets mee wilde doen. Omdat het gedicht waar ik voor gekozen heb uit slechts 13 woorden bestaat, gekozen uit een bestaande tekst, heb ik ervoor gekozen de gebruiker de mogelijkheid te geven deze woorden in een willekeurige volgorde te genereren, zodat er op deze manier een nieuw, steeds weer uniek gedicht ontstaat.

6. BwO

   BwO (Body without Organs): All the words of the text from 'Mille Plateaux' are floating in space, disembodied from their pages, interconnected by a luminous thread; the code follows each word in its reading order, embodying a meta-body-without-organs in 3d space, charting diffuse abstract paths united by generative's logic thread.
