you have a year to produce a poem considered on par with the great poets of the canon. you can use AI, you can consult with other writers, you even have a fund so you can travel around and visit libraries/universities/etc. worldwide. the only restriction is that you can't have someone else write it for you, unless it is an AI device.

to sweeten the pot, if you can meet the challenge, you will get $100m. to sour the pot, if you fail, you will be flogged in a public square. not to death, but it will be pretty bad. you can submit an unlimited number of personally-written attempts prior to the deadline, and up to 500 AI prompts. hybrid AI/self-input poems still count as AI, though.

would you take this challenge.

what counts as canon? does inclusion in norton's anthology count as canon? what about norton's anthology of modern poetry? because they contain poems like this:

no. your work has to be on-par with the better poems of 'the greats' such as william blake or so on. you don't have to write a new paradise lost, but you do have to write an enduring classic.

This is impossible. Poetry is dead, and no poem written today by anyone under any circumstances could be considered on par with the canon classics. The merits of the poem itself are quite simply irrelevant
