Poetry recombined like DNA?

Saturday July 26, 2003
About Poetry Forum member Timray ran across this link recently: Darwinian Poetry, an experiment at David Rea’s CodeAsArt site in which readers choose from among pairs of poems made of randomly combined phrases “to see if non-negotiated collaboration can evolve interesting poetry using (un)natural selection.” Will it prove the monkeys-on-typewriters hypothesis or produce only surrealistic drivel? Read the poems, vote & see if the cream actually rises to the top.
