@corinnaboard.bsky.social Hi Corinna, I enjoyed your reading at @sophiaargyris.bsky.social launch very much. The mention of Icarus was very apt as I'm working on a poem featuring him.
I look forward to hearing and reading them again in the recording.

we’re going to have to talk sensibly and honestly about the ramifications of this very soon. for literature, for publishing, for the assessment of talent, for the creative writing degree. Anyway - first time I’ve read any AI fiction or poetry and thought: Oh.
