Computer Poems
Ed. Richard W. Bailey, 1973

With a fittingly aberrant scan by @xfoml (on X) who says: 'page warble due to the poor condition of the physical copy of the book..'

'A throw of the dice will never abolish chance. Chance is not abolished by the computer's randomizing power but is re-created in different terms'

I think, knowingly, the first line was quoted as it is such a canonical statement on randomness and aleatory writing in a poetical context?

"Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard."
—Stéphane Mallarmé 

Hoping the quote wasn't stolen outright 🤣 

Making another cup of tea and checking this out, thank you!
