Guys, I’ve been vocally anti-AI art for ages. It’s not me being “mean” or disrespectful of other creators. Quite the opposite, because you haven’t created anything of artistic value when you use generative AI. 🙄

This episode demonstrated talented, thoughtful, and invested writing.

I’m teaching poetry writing next spring. I want a good primer that undergraduates can lean on as a writing guide, maybe a collection from a poet that would be a good model, and any other tips/assignments you do! Thanks!! #poetrycommunity
