A Blink is a 30-second poem – a super-quick algorithm to run with words. BUT it’s written and performed by a human. It’s the in-verse of AI verse!
The Blinks is:
A challenge – to create a poem to perform in 30 seconds, MAX!
Anything but programmatic. Blinks can be snaps of fun, or searing. They can be sad, inspiring, or silly! Whatever tickles your neural nets.
Invented and presented by the Stroll of Poets at the Edmonton Poetry Festival for 20 years.
