It’s that time of year when, whether we like it or not, we are closing something like a door behind us, and in the process that closed door opens a new viewpoint, and in fact new beginnings for us. Our calendar certainly reminds us of this reality, and the very fact that the daily hours of sunlight are gradually lengthening, confirms it. There is a measure of confirmation in this concept, and indeed, in the reality of new beginnings.

I heard a Fly buzz – when I died – The Stillness in the Room Was like the Stillness in the Air – Between the Heaves of Storm – The Eyes around – had wrung them dry – And Breaths were gathering firm For that last Onset – when the King Be witnessed – in the Room – I willed my Keepsakes – Signed away What portions of me be Assignable – and then it was There interposed a Fly – With Blue – uncertain stumbling Buzz – Between the light – and me – And then the Windows failed – and then I could not...

In a surprising discovery about human taste in poetry, a recent study has shown that most people struggle to tell whether a poem was created by artificial intelligence or a human writer. Even more astonishing, readers tend to prefer poems generated by AI! Researchers Brian Porter and Edouard Machery from the University of Pittsburgh set out to explore this phenomenon, revealing unexpected insights into how we perceive and evaluate poetry.
Can You Tell AI from Human Poetry?

Island poet Fan Ogilvie has just released a trilogy of poetry books that explore life and death called “Dust Is the Only Secret – Assent to Life”. She invites us all to take it in slowly, a chapter at a time, to absorb what we can, and contact her with our feedback. She wants us to go in, knowing each of us will have our own experience with her words and sequencing of her poems.

Una gota cayó sobre el manzano,otra en el techo de la casa; seisrozaron con sus labios los aleros,y hasta hicieron reír a los hastiales. Un puñado al arroyo socorría,que iba corriendo a socorrer al mar. Yo barruntaba: ¡Oh, si fueran perlas!¡Qué collares podríanse engarzar!El sol lanzaba su sombrero al vuelo,los pájaros cantaban, exultantes,los árboles fulgían en los huertosy el polvo en los caminos de las cuestasvolvíase a posar. Las brisas en venturabañaban sus laúdes pesarosos.
