I like to dabble in (rule-based) generative poetry. Currently these works are mostly in Dutch. Below is a list of my writings, followed by links to the individual poetry generators.
Writings
- Van Miltenburg, Emiel (2020) Toevallige Haiku’s.
- Van Miltenburg, Emiel (2024) Willekeurige gedichten.
- Van Miltenburg, Emiel (2024) Wat als Greta Monach Amerikaans was geweest?
DBNL
These poems were all based on books that have been archived at DBNL.
- Toevallige haiku’s: I’ve written a script to automatically detect haikus in Dutch literature. I’ve described these haikus here. Code and generated book on GitHub.
- Sonnettengenerator: A sonnet generator written in JavaScript, based on sentences extracted from Dutch prose. Link to poem. Description here. Code on GitHub.
- Kleine vragen in de literatuur: A random, continuously updating poem written in JavaScript, based on sentences extracted from Dutch prose. Link to poem. Description here. Code on GitHub.
Greta Monach
I am currently working to reproduce earlier generative poetry written by Greta Monach. I have written about it here.
