no people
For NaNoGenMo 2015, everestpipkin composed no people, which I can best describe as a poetry art book.
The generator took images from Google Streetview, performed an image recognition on them, and then wrote poetry based on what it saw in the picture.

The results are astonishingly evocative.

The poetry is written by expanding concepts with Wordnik, finding words that match in random Project Gutenberg texts, and then combining the results in particular ways.

It is presented without capitalization, as is typical of everest pipkin’s work.
