AB - <p>Regarding the creation of <em>Sonnetizing the Singularity</em>, Richard Holeton writes, "I used an open-source Python program by Ross Goodwin called 'Sonnetizer,' which generates Shakespearean sonnets from a text corpus that you input. I input the entire text of Ray Kurzweil’s book <em>The Singularity is Near </em>(Viking, 2005), which is available online, and let the program generate dozens and dozens of sonnets. I then selected what I felt were the most promising ones, mixed and matched a few lines here and there from different sonnets, and did some minimal editing for sense and syntax (e.g., subject-verb agreement). In a few cases I substituted different words for what the computer program generated, but words always still from the Kurzweil text corpus." -- Richard Holeton</p>
