(Note to Blogger staff: I am currently working on an experimental poetry piece using voice-to-text. Parts of the project are being posted on this blog. If your spam-detectors pick this up as spam they are wrong. This is a poetry project. Please don't delete my blog. Thanks.)





Poetry generated by Google Voice during the first two weeks of "Catullus" is displayed below. At least one Catullus piece and one collaborative input were un-transcribable by Google Voice. I have the audio files for all calls and will include them in the final project. I will transcribe pieces not transcribed by Google and print them as "untranslated".

Tawil Poetry System Presents

Osel Of My Eye 7: Catullus
Homage to Louis Zukofsky

A collaborative long poem generated by Google Voice.

I will be composing a book over the next month by calling a phone number and leaving voicemail messages. My voice messages will be transcribed to text by Google Voice. Each message will be me reading a poem by Catullus in Latin. Google Voice will "translate" my Latin into English. The e-mail messages will be assembled (unedited) into a book.

I am inviting others to contribute to the book by calling the same phone number I am using and leaving their own poems. All the e-mail messages I receive will be included in the book. I will be posting each message to the Journal of Unversion as I receive it, in between the Catullus poems that Google Voice and I will be translating together.

You may call me from your phone by calling 601-759-1723. Or you can use the "Call Me" icon at the right side of this page.

Give me your grunts, your howls, your words, your phonemes of animal and human spirit!

A CD with sound files of all messages recieved by contributers will be distributed with the book.

The number to call is: 601-759-1723

Thanks! Gregory Fitzsimmons
