AU - Neil Hennessy
AB - <p>"<em>JABBER</em> produces nonsense words that sound like English words, in the way that the portmanteau words from Lewis Carroll's <em>Jabberwocky</em> sound like English words. <br><br>

When a letter comes into contact with another letter or group of letters, a calculation occurs to determine whether they bond according to the likelihood that they would appear contiguously in the English lexicon. Clusters of letters accumulate to form words, which results in a dynamic nonsense word sound poem floating around on the screen with each iteration of the generator. <br><br>

<em>JABBER</em> realises a linguistic chemistry with letters as atoms and words as molecules." -- from author's statement, <em>Poems That GO</em><br></p>
