This paper illustrates the potential uses of poetry therapy for practitioners interested in cognitively based psychotherapies. Separate brief discussions of cognitive therapy and the uses of poetry and poetry therapy are presented. The congruence between these two approaches is addressed. Sample exercises and poems as illustrations are presented that demonstrate this congruence. © 2005 Elsevier...

Poetry is a unique artifact of Human Natural Language Production whose creation requires mastery over linguistic knowledge and creativity. Thus, generating poetry by a computer is certainly a testament to the progress of Arti cial Intelligence. This report descibes the past work in this area and also presents a working algorithm which generates poetry using semantic similarity based on WordNet[1].

BACKGROUND Poetry plays an age-old role in the art of healing. Although medicine today seems distant from the world of poetic expression, there are surprising commonalities between the two. OBJECTIVES In this essay we reflect on three aspects of healing that are fostered by poetry.

Poetry conventionally is the liberated utterance of the feeling subject, “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth). The computer has taken poetry in several significant directions. With poetry on the page (electronic or otherwise), the computer has emulated human-authored texts. But it has also been used to create more experimental poetries. A further, better known, initiativ...

We investigate the performance of non-expert judges in using leading computational poetry evaluation metrics to evaluate poetry written by humans. We find that regardless of the model used, non-expert judges are very poor at using metrics to evaluate creativity, even displaying the reverse of the desired rating pattern, preferring novice poetry to professional poetry. We discuss likely reasons ...
