Combinatory poetics came about in the twentieth century and is still a large part of electronic literature. Within Zurich Dada, abstract art took ahold and the poems were created by flow of consciousness with a newspaper and scissors. The product would be a representative of the creator and their mind. What I found interesting is that this would later be expanded to groups as well. Meaning, a group of people could sit together, pass around a paper and write whatever came to mind. The end would be a mash of questions, responses, and anything in between. This can create a sort of group unconscious product where creativity does not have any bounds. Programs allowing for electronically generated poetry, and in some cases stories, have boomed and give readers a wide range of poems. One that was mentioned in the text was Taroko gorge, I explored that in Intro Creative non fiction and found it fascinating that it never really ends. It has also transformed into an almost collaborative spa...
