  This open-source software project identifies inferences between two or more bodies of text, and uses the inferences to create poems. Both an interface for performance and a practical tool, this environment will take textual inputs, query them for semantic matches, and generate the common concepts (ordered by frequency) using the semantic data. The generated concepts [...]

  We listened to the speech on that rainy Thursday afternoon, feeling lost and small in the eager crowd. Although most politicized environments discouraged us, we knew this one was important, and we began to make out some kind of thread in the delivery. All worlds are escapes, and all beings are worlds. It is easy [...]
