A multilayered exploration of poetry authorship and digital intelligence by “a writer of immense poetic power” ( The Guardian )   Longlisted for the 2025 National Book Award Translated Literature   “Many paths cross in Ismailov’s beautiful new work—poetry history and the infinite imagination. Every path winding into another. Every path worth taking.”—Patti Smith   In the late 1980s French poet and psychologist Jon‑Perse finds himself in possession of one of the most promising inventions of the century: a computer. Enchanted by snippets of Persian poetry he learns from his Uzbek translation partner Abdulhamid Ismail Jon-Perse builds a computer program capable of both analyzing and generating literature. But beyond the text on his screen there are entire worlds—of history philosophy and maybe even of love—in the stories and people he and AI conjure.   Hamid Ismailov brings together his work as a poet translator and student of literature of both East and West to craft a postmodern ode to poetry across centuries and continents. Crossing the poètes maudits with beloved Sufi classics blending absurdist dreams with the life of the famed Persian poet Hafez moving from careful mathematical calculations to lyrical narratives Ismailov invents an ingenious transnational poetics of love and longing for the digital age. Situated at the crossroads of a multilingual world and mediated by the unreliable sensibilities of digital intelligence this book is a dazzling celebration of how poetry resonates across time and space.
