Salt / David Jibson

I am working on a manuscript of poems paired with AI-produced art, some of the poems published, some new. In each case, the poem serves as the prompt to generate the AI image. I will eventually publish all of this electronically to give away. Here’s a sample, originally published in Sheepshead Review (University of Wisconsin). This image was generated by Chat GPT. Do you think AI-generated images should be called “art”? Does this image make any contribution to the poem? Does it add or detract?

Meet Augie and Wanda

Published on by Editorial Staff1 Comment

Augie and Wanda are two principal characters from my chapbook, Michigan Gothic. As death comes to Augie, it parallels the death of the American family farm and a culture that once helped to define who we are. This chapbook tells the story of Augie and his family through a series of twenty free-verse poems.  Available for $6.00 from Amazon.com. Better yet, read it for free at my website.
