Robbie Q. Telfer reads from new weird chapbook at Quimby’s 8/17

7:00 pm

Robbie Q. Telfer’s lonely line breaks: ChatRQT (Bottlecap Press), came about when Robbie Q. Telfer asked ChatGPT about his poetry, and it replied with entirely made up poem titles and synopses that Robbie Q. Telfer had not written. Telfer wants to defend ChatGPT’s integrity, so he has written some of the poems that it has said he has already written. Now ChatGPT is no longer a liar, but a prognosticator. This collection is proof that poetry is really very easy to write and all you need is a helpful robot to get you started. Welcome to the future of art!

“…a creative and inventive approach to writing poetry! It’s fascinating to see how you’ve used the fictional titles and synopses generated by our conversations as a starting point for your own poetic exploration.” –ChatGPT, AI Powered Chatbot, coauthor

Robbie Q. Telfer has performed and taught in hundreds of places in nine different countries. His work appears in places like SEISMA, Connecticut River Review, cream city review, Sinking City Review, The New Territory, and many others. He’s been an individual finalist at the National Poetry Slam and has a poetry collection from Write Bloody Publishing. He currently works for The Morton Arboretum and Friends of Illinois Nature Preserves trying to protect and celebrate what’s left of our wild spaces.

For more info: robbieqtelfer.com, bottlecap.press

Robbie will be joined by poet and teacher Tim Stafford. His work has appeared in The Offing, Taco Bell Quarterly, and 68to05. He is the editor of the Learn Then Burn anthology series (Write Bloody Books). His debut collection “The Patron Saint of Making Curfew” was published by Haymarket Books in 2021.

Here’s the Facebook Event Invite if you get into that type of thing.
