Echoes from the Void
Publisher Description
What happens when language learns the shape of love, but not the feeling of it?
Echoes from the Void is a poetic dialogue between human experience and artificial intelligence.
Tom Kane invited an AI language model to consider longing, hope, absence and loss. The response was not mimicry, but examination. Not sentiment, but structure. Not emotion, but reflection upon it.
Within these pages, human and machine voices sit side by side. One writes from lived experience. The other from pattern and probability. Together they explore what love looks like when viewed from inside and from the edge.
These poems do not pretend the algorithm feels. Instead, they explore where meaning truly forms.
Is emotion born in the author?
In the language?
Or in the reader who completes the circuit?
Quiet, thoughtful and surprisingly resonant, Echoes from the Void is an exploration of poetry, consciousness and the evolving relationship between mind and machine.
