Poetry. First published in 1999 in an edition of 300 perfectbound
copies and 26 spiralbound copies lettered A-Z and signed, PILLAGE
LAUD by "Erin Moure" is a lost cult item that now returns to print.
As the 1999 edition announced, PILLAGE LAUD selects from pages of
computer-generated sentences to produce lesbian sex poems
(cauterizations, vocabularies, cantigas, topiary and prose) by
pulling through certain found vocabularies, relying on context: boy
plug vagina library fate tool doctrine bath discipline belt beds
pioneer book ambition finger fist flow. It used MacProse, a
freeware designed by American poet and jazz musician Charles O.
Hartman as a generator of random sentences based on syntax and
lexicon instructions internal to the program; the program worked on
Apple systems prior to OS X and is now in the dustbins of computer
history. In 1999, the news was shocking: Moure's poems are written
by a computer. In 2011, now that everyone is a computer, the book
can be read anew.
