good morning, NYC. 💚
conceptual semi-asemic AI poetry on a billboard in times square. finding it hard to believe this.
all my thanks to
@artcrushgallery
@MathieuFrance
for your ongoing support and all you do for artists.
When the highest price achieved in a
@ChristiesInc
auction (alongside
@harvey_rayner
) is a poem. By a woman.
To the collector and to
@gucci
: thank you for believing in me.
To the person who told me the price was too high: I know my value. TBH, this was a bargain.

I met Allen Ginsberg when I was a student. I was with a friend, in Central Park, and he invited us both to his apartment downtown to continue our conversation about writing. He gave me feedback on a sheaf of schoolgirl verse (yes, I still have these precious pages with his…
i sold a poem at
@ChristiesInc
today.
a poem as rooted in decades of craft as in the future of language, art, and human expression. a modest sale by crypto standards, but a personal milestone. grateful to the readers, bidders (thank you, dear
@zancan
🌱), and collector… 🙏💚🥹✨
woke up to an epiphany: it is not my job to make everyone else comfortable, especially not at my own expense. i don’t have to laugh at jokes that aren’t funny, or smile and nod if i disagree, or shrink myself to placate small minds. none of us should.
thank you to everyone who came to the talk today, especially the woman who jumped up out of her chair at the end and yelled “standing ovation!” 😂🥹 forever grateful to
@HUObrist
for making space for a poet at
@ArtBasel
.
good morning! gentle reminder that to be an artist is to take risks and move beyond the comfort zone, not to do what’s tried and true or easily understood. artists aren’t content creators or consumer goods brands, despite growing pressure to think of ourselves that way. resist.
that feeling when
@MuseumModernArt
tags you after years of making art and poetry, and hundreds of visits, at least, to the museum — indescribable. 🥹 can’t wait for oct 3…
Stunned that
@gucci
's Creative Director has "fallen in love" with this poem and shared it on his main feed. There are so many meaningful ways to publish poetry today, and I am profoundly grateful. Thank you, Sabato and team, for the beautiful seeds that inspired "Again, Again."
Pls mark your
@ArtBasel
calendar: on Fri, Dec 8 at 1pm, I'll be in conversation with
@HUObrist
at the main fair, introduced by James Voorhies, curator of
@TheBassMoA

@AnnkaKultys
for connecting our dots earlier this year.

Thank you for the warm response to yesterday's announcement that I am now represented by
@artxcode_io

Woke up to see that
@zancan
has kicked off bidding on my
@ChristiesInc
poem. I am searching for words to express what this means to me… In the meantime - a stunned and heartfelt thank you. 🥺💚
think i’m in shock about
@gucci
… can’t quite believe i’m part of the global debut of
#GucciAncora
, which kicked off tonight in NYC. much more to come in key cities worldwide, as announced on
@wwd
’s front page. all my thanks to the team and the owner of this featured work. ♥️♥️♥️

today my generative poem release on
@proof_xyz
has sold 50 unique editions so far at 0.2 eth each. i won’t do the math in public, but it’s an unprecedented moment for this poet, and i am stunned and grateful.
poetry. has. currency.
Thrilled to share that Cursive Binary is on view at
@LAPublicLibrary
throughout 2024. As a library devotee who spent much of her childhood in LA, this is quite literally a dream come true. Thank you to the team at
@standard_vision
. 💚
Woke up still a bit gobsmacked to have received one of the top prizes, in AI tier 2. I've never won anything quite like this and it's sinking in what the resources will mean. Thank you
@Optimism
, from all of us artists.
Don’t underestimate poets.
Don’t dismiss poems.
Don’t sleep on poetry.
Don’t write off writers.
And don’t forget about readers —
we are a voracious, passionate bunch.
Here’s to literature’s infinite possibilities.
🙏🙏🙏
A conceptual poetry project generated over 20 ETH in less than 4 hours today. By any metric, that's exciting for writers in web3. And it's not over yet...
To all the poets making moves - I can say from experience that hype doesn't always match hard work, but don't give up. Trust…
two years ago today,
#technelegy
was published, after many more years in the making. i will never forget the feeling of opening up that first box from my publisher and holding the physical book in my hands. like holding an externalized piece of my brain and heart. i wrote…
yesterday was a dream come true for
@CaballeroAnaMa

@KalenIwamoto
and me, and everyone at
@theVERSEverse

@SuperRare
for helping us bring our crypto poetry gallery to life in NYC.
[A poetic 🧵]
Dear crypto family,
On Thursday (tomorrow), in partnership with
@QuantumNFT
, I'm taking a leap and publishing a long generative poem as a collection of 30 x 1/1, media-rich textblocks that interlink to form a complete work of transhuman, AI-powered literature...
The best part about selling art is being able to buy art. I'd been coveting a piece from
@kimasendorf
's "Reading a Book" project on
@fx_hash_
but was priced out... Finally added one to my collection today.
Poems, unlike so much of art, are simultaneously both immaterial & corporeal. They exist at the junction of physical & ethereal that makes us human, & has for millennia, since the moment we became conscious of consciousness.

On a night stacked with events, our back to back moments at
@gucci
and
@BangOlufsen
were packed full of people I love and admire. Thank you to everyone who showed up for me last night — you have made me a very happy poet.

“REPETAE: AGAIN, AGAIN” is now on view at
@gucci
Wooster St NYC — if you’re in town, please stop by and send pics!

@NFTKOREAFEST

six years ago i was in a poetry workshop being advised not to write with AI, and now i’m about to give a talk on AI poetry at georgia tech. this is one crazy journey.
