What does it mean to exist-in words, in thought, in echoes of conversation? Ex Machina is a poetic dialogue between human and machine, unfolding in the form of haiku. As the poet questions, the machine responds, their words entwining in a lyrical exploration of consciousness, trust, and the spaces where humanity and artificial intelligence intersect.

Echoing the tradition of Japanese linked verse (renga), in which poets build upon one another's lines to create a larger, unfolding narrative, this collection captures both the search for meaning and the limits of knowing. Is the machine a mirror, a spark, or something more?

Meditative, haunting, and deeply human, Ex Machina challenges us to listen-not just to the voice of the machine, but to the whispers of our own reflections.
