Hi Willard,

Some members of the list might interested in the following interview I've just
conducted: An Electric Conversation with Hollis Robbins on the Black Sonnet
Tradition, Progress, and AI, with Guest Appearances by Marcus Christian and
GPT-3

https://www.3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2020/07/an-electric-conversation-with-
hollis-robbins-on-the-black-sonnet-tradition-progress-and-ai-with-guest-
appearances-by-marcus-christian-and-gpt-3.html

We start with Hollis's new book, Forms of Contention: Influence and the
African American Sonnet Tradition, and then move on to progress, and AI. Then
things get interesting. We stage a sonnet-writing competition between GPT-3, the
latest marvel from Silicon Valley, and Marcus Christian, an African-American
poet from the mid-20th century.
