Everything about the Poetry Machine is shrouded in mystery. What makes this mystery
especially troubling, powerful, seductive and addictive is the seemingly inconceivable
mixture of the early industrial revolution, the first steam engine and Eli Whitney’s cotton gin,
with the world of mysticism, magic, and poetry.

The above text is an extract from the introduction of this first published poetry machine book
– called Jorge's machinations. It compiles poems gathered from the people who underwent
the experiment and invites people to interact with the project using the question wheel found
on the cover and tips given in the book.
