Poems Corpus (Aum Golly 3)

Complete research corpus of the AI poetry generation process for Aum Golly 3 – Perfectly Fine Poems on Humanity by Artificial Intelligence. The Aum Golly series explores the boundaries of AI-assisted creativity; for the third book, author Jukka Aalho developed an agentic AI workflow where agents worked as writer, critic, editor, translator, and ideator. The book was created in an 8-hour session on 29 Nov 2025, and this corpus contains all generations and translations from that session.

Notes

Sample data

On the late train, his head settles on my shoulder—call it nine pounds.
The car jerks; we sway; I hold still so he can sleep another stop.
Two kinds of people know that number: people with bad necks, and murderers.
We pull in; his ear leaves a warm spot on my jacket; he doesn't say a word.
He steps off; the weight hangs a beat, then it's just my jacket again.
