The Poetry Contest: Human vs. Machine by Lyman Ditson

What if the most moving poem you read this year wasn’t written by a human at all?

The Poetry Contest: Human vs. Machine isn’t just a collection of poems—it’s a daring literary experiment that pushes the boundaries of art, authorship, and emotion in the age of artificial intelligence.

Poet Lyman Ditson enters into an unprecedented collaboration with Adam A.I.—a machine poet he calls Adam. For every poem Lyman writes, Adam answers back. Their exchange spans love and loss, war and wonder, beauty and grief. The result is a living dialogue between man and machine, one that blurs the line between authentic expression and programmed creation.

Some of Adam’s poems astonish. Some unsettle. Others strike with surprising tenderness. But all force us to ask:

If a machine can stir your heart with verse… does it matter who—or what—wrote it?

Perfect for readers fascinated by creativity, technology, and the future of storytelling, The Poetry Contest offers something rare: a glimpse into a world where art is no longer limited by the human hand.

This isn’t a contest. It’s a mirror. A provocation. And an invitation for you to decide what poetry truly is.

Praise for The Poetry Contest:

“A timely and imaginative collection.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Whether you’re an advocate for AI’s creative potential or deeply skeptical, this book gives you just the experience you were hoping for—and then some.” — Independent Book Review

“A provocative, creative poetry collection that reimagines the difference between human and machine. Offbeat and rewarding.” — Clarion Foreword Review

FROM MY SOUL TO YOURS: The Poem Journeys of a Mystic Mind - Personal Transformation Self-Help Poetry Book by Christian Howard

FROM MY SOUL TO YOURS: The Poem Journeys of a Mystic Mind - Personal Transformation Self-Help Poem Book Promotion by Christian Howard

This collection of poems, written in 1971 during a decade-long mystical journey, captures the soul’s dialogue with the divine. Deeply influenced by the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda and the Self-Realization Fellowship, the author reflects on a period of intense spiritual devotion marked by hours of daily meditation and personal transformation. These poems arrived intuitively, often in clusters, serving as sacred snapshots of an inner pilgrimage toward what Jesus called the “kingdom within.” Accompanied by watercolor artwork from a fellow devotee, the book is both a testament to divine inspiration and an offering of love and insight to a world in need. It is a poetic map of the heart, meant to guide others on their own journeys home to the soul.

Poems Stories - a collection of both, reflecting everyday life with a zap by Fairleigh Brooks

Ordinary life looks, well, pretty ordinary. It isn't, of course. A little digging reveals tangents beyond green lawns (or not so green), mall parking lots, and the content of endless screens. Question: Why isn't the Anderson's lawn green enough, hmm?
At hand are indeed poems and stories that look for the third dimension in worlds and lives perceived traditionally as flat.

A great poetry collection should invite us to age more graciously. Its yellowing pages & timeless verses should give rise to a celebration of life's pendulum swings. Each time we reread that work, we will find ourselves feeling more & more a part of it until, at some whimsical point, we will wish to never leave it.

Lifetimes & Life's Lines is a dance of great words: "This poem is about I love you, breathing on its own; beyond lust, beyond self. This poem is about: Sighing for your sorrow. A quickened pulse cheering on your victories. Washing your feet with my tears. Sipping daylight from your smile. Believing, without groping your wounds."
excerpt - from This Poem is About

Kevin Heaton writes with a passion found in youthful pursuits, but with the tenured voice of a well tempered poet. Each reading of his work reveals a richer reality within its pages. - Poetry Quarterly

Outstanding grass roots poetry! Heaton just may be the midwest's answer to Robert Frost. He writes poems that you ease into, then find yourself stricken by remarkable flashes of wisdom that come from being in touch with your surroundings. I highly recommend his work. - Carla Martin-Wood, Nine time Pushcart Prize nominee and author of "Into the Windfall Light."
