Oh, to have read this 40 years ago right after seeing the movie for the first time...

Good poets take influence from many things. Take Mary Jo Bang, who, in this exclusive interview about her new poetry collection "A Film In Which I Play Everyone," not only cites other poets, but David Bowie, surrealist painter Dorothea Tanning, and "Back To The Future Part III" as well.

While it sometimes seems that no one reads poetry, the idea of AI writing it has come up a lot in all the conversations about Artificial Intelligence. It's also the impetus to what happens in Sean Michaels' cyberpunk sci-fi (or should that be speculative fiction) novel "Do You Remember Being Born?", which he and I discuss in this exclusive interview.

Couldn't tell if this was one long poem or 80+ short ones so I said fuck it and read the whole thing. Which, I think, is what I did with his last book, too. Eh, whatever, good either way.

French, editors of the new short story anthology "Grease Monkeys: The Heart And Soul Of Dieselpunk."
