PhD poetry: creating poems from phd theses #35

Open shamanoor opened 3 years ago

Started a project earlier this year to create rhymes from Jordan Peterson's dissertation. Decided to use this project as a basis for NaNoGenMo 2020 and participate a second time! As opposed to last year I aim to update my work throughout the month a bit better, so let's see!

So, updating my work throughout the month didn't go so well :'). I decided to go with two types of rhymes: a limerick and a monorhyme. Half of the words went into creating limericks, and the other half are in monorhymes. It would have been cool to also include haiku's, it's been on my todo since march, but with the roundup of my thesis I didn't get to it. Hopefully in the coming 12 months I will manage to include them in a project somewhere!

Again the result is directly put into a pdf because I thought that was a really cool feature from last year.

Result: Emergence and How One Might Live- rhymes.pdf

Oh, credit to the PhD thesis I used: It was written by Anthony Machum, named 'Emergence and How One Might Live'. It was published in 2012. I retrieved it from: https://scholar.uwindsor.ca/philosophy_etd/. I selected this particular thesis because I liked the title. Thank you Anthony for your hard work and for (unknowingly) helping me achieve my goal for NaNoGenMo 2020!
