I Forged Emily Dickinson’s Poetry with an RNN
The end result is the fourth worst poetry in the universe!
I utilized a Recurrent Neural Network trained on the collective works of Emily Dickinson to generate new poetry. It’s not quite as bad as Vogon poetry , but it’s not quite as good as the real deal either.
In order to make this happen, I repurposed a demonstration available here on Google Colaboratory and added a few tweaks of my own.
The interesting thing to note is that the network predicts individual characters (including punctuation and return characters) rather than words. The model wasn’t trained on the concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, etc. but appears to have picked up on it.
After training the model on a massive list of Emily Dickinson’s poems, I asked it to predict the next few characters based on the input of \n
(a return character). The example poems below are what the model considered to be the most probable characters in the most probable order.
I used The Complete Project Gutenberg’s Poems to fuel the model’s training data. I fed the model a large single file, but a better approach would be to break each poem out separately before training.
Sample input poem
DESIRE. Who never wanted, — maddest joy Remains to him unknown: The banquet of abstemiousness Surpasses that of wine. Within its hope, though yet ungrasped Desire's perfect goal, No nearer, lest reality Should disenthrall thy soul.

Key things to notice:
- The model appropriately places punctuation at the end of lines.
- The model is adding return characters and indentations to match Emily Dickinson’s style.
- The model capitalizes the first letter on each line.
- The model capitalizes the word “God”.
- The model uses dashes and semicolons heavily.
These are all consequences of Emily Dickinson’s writing style as well as the format of the text file that I provided. There’s a related note from the transcriber:
“As is well documented, Emily Dickinson’s poems were edited in these early editions by her friends, better to fit the conventions of the times. In particular, her dashes, often small enough to appear as dots, became commas and semi-colons.”
