Moloch: A Poetic Dialogue Between Man and Machine

The radio is a medium of #entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same #joke at the same time, and yet remain #lonesome.
@T. S. Eliot

Moloch is a ground breaking collection of poems shaped by the interference of machines, where human intention collides with the digital realm to produce something hauntingly unique. This isn’t just poetry; it’s a provocative exploration of technology’s hand in shaping modern creativity. Each piece is a conversation—sometimes humorous, often unsettling—between poet Richard Pinner and the imperfect algorithms that “misunderstand” his words, creating new meaning from the chaos.

Originally published in a limited run by Registration Press in 2018 with cover art and typesetting by William Brady, Moloch quickly became a rarity. Now, Hungry Wolf Press proudly offers the second edition, available as a print-on-demand and eBook release, keeping this essential work accessible to new readers. Step into Moloch to experience the raw beauty and bizarre humor that only a digital age could produce.
