Pains me to say it, but here are 2 literary ways in which Google’s AI worked: I was solicited by a library, seemingly, to include my prose poem in their upcoming book club discussion. Being not a book, but sounding like a professional request, I asked AI to verify legitimacy. AI said fake…

Prose poetry isnt short story. The narrative is vehicle for impression & mood; how reader leaves with question or contemplation, not conclusion. If the surface is story, it’s secondary to poetics that carried writer to its inception. All the more interesting for reader to ask “Why is this poetics?”
