William Carlos Williams pointed out, a poem is a machine made out of words. In the classroom, then, the poem can be discussed the way machines are discussed, with reference to the technical features that make the machine what it is. To speak of poems in this way, however, requires a scholar’s commitment to studying the genre’s history, its masters, as well as its formal and thematic dynamics.

Thanks to PLU I have a couple of topics on my resume like “blockchain” and “machine learning” which have absolutely helped me.
