Spoonbill Generator is an ongoing internet collaborative verse project. The first poem
created on the Spoonbill Generator was completed in June 1996 and over 2400 more have been
written since, ranging from minor masterpieces to complete rubbish.
The Generator gives anyone the opportunity to contribute to a collaborative work of
verse. There are always three poems being written concurrently. The Spoonbill Generation
springs from the mind of Peter Christian at spoonbill.org. [DES-10/06]
