Darwinian poetry revisited
The Darwinian poetry site seems very neglected nowadays, which is a shame, but at least the poems are a lot better than they were at the start. Not that I'd ever expected any great poetry to come out of it, but the concept is an interesting one. At least the early history of poetry, with orally transfered and manually copied texts, commonplaces and imitation, may very well be regarded as an evolutionary process. What if humanity is merely the medium for literature, for myth, and the medium, in this case, isn't the message? Sounds like another philosophical SF-novel I'll never write... (I'll leave it to those monkeys with the typewriters, where ever they are.)
