At 75, poet Marian Ffarmer receives an invitation to the Silicon Valley headquarters of one of the world's most powerful companies in order to make history by writing a poem. Marian has never collaborated with anyone, let alone a machine. Charlotte is the state-of-the-art poetry bot. Who knew that a disembodied mind could help bend Marian's life towards human connection, that friendship and family are not just time-eating obligations but soul-expanding joys. Or that belonging to one's art means, above all else, belonging to the world.
