#! [Shebang]
The title of this book, pronounced “shebang,” consists of the first two characters of most files containing scripts or interpreted programs. The “shebang” tells the system to use whatever follows to run the file — that the file is a Perl, or Python, or Ruby, or other program. “Shebang” also means “the entire universe of things that is under consideration,” as in “the whole shebang.” The book is a contribution to conceptual writing, published by a small press, most known to readers by word of mouth or via independent bookstores. It is an essentially subversive offering; having no words, letters, or even numbers in the title is, thus, appropriate.

Poemstar
A poem generator that was distributed on Art Com Electronic Network (ACEN) starting in late 1989 and for at least a couple of years following this. PoemStar promised to do the following: - Make your very own files of verses, ideas, metaphors, associations, and seeds of innvovation. - Share your meme files within the ACEN and other Computer Integrated Art (CIA) networks. According to Kytöhonka's writings, during the first two months in late 1989 some 300 subscribers registered and started to use PoemStar. However, there are no known copies of the work as of May 2015. If you have any further information about this work, please contact Petri Kuljuntausta , a sound artist and sound historian who (as of May 2015) is working on a documentary film about early Finnish computer art.

Runeberg
A lost work that according to the author's later description of PoemStar (1989) was a meme generator created in collaboration with Pekka Tolonen, the composer and AI expert. From the description of PoemStar:
The aim of Runeberg was straightout: the computer is a medium and its message differs from the bardic tradition, as that voice-resident and era-active poetry diverses from the printed literature. When Gutenberg & Co invented moveable type they made the literature unmovable. They did more than spring the Bible. Or their invention ultimately provided a meaning-proof shed, an opportunity for the consolidation of language. --Shakespeare jumped on that opportunity. He reconfigured poetry bringing together history, tragedy, and comedy under its roof.
Poetry in print became more permanet, less permutable: more visual, less aural. But at that time we didn't have a computer to free us from that mental and verbal stiffness.

Kim Kardashian's Marriage
Sam Riviere's debut, 81 Austerities, began as a blog responding to the spending cuts, and went on in publication to win the 2012 Forward Prize for Best First Collection. A sequel of sorts, the 72 poems in Kim Kardashian's Marriage mark out equally sharpened lines of public and private engagement. Kim Kardashian's 2011 marriage lasted for 72 days, and was seen by some as illustrative of the performative spectacle of celebrity life. Whatever the truth of this (and Kardashian's own statements refute it), Riviere has used the furore as a point of ignition, deploying terms from Kardashian's make-up regimen to explore surfaces and self-consciousness, presentation and obfuscation. His approach eschews a dependence upon confessional modes of writing to explore what kind of meaning lies in impersonal methods of creation. For, as with 81 Austerities, the process of enquiry involves the composition method itself, this time in poems that have been produced by harvesting and manipulating the results of search engines to create a poetry of part-collage, part-improvisation.
