📚 Wikipedia Persona Poem Workshop 維基人物詩歌工作坊
🪞 Write as Someone (or Something) Else
Persona Poetry from Wikipedia｜化身他者：Wikipedia 擬人詩工作坊
Use a poem to pretend you’re someone — or something — else.
A monk. A space dog. A haunted lighthouse. A deleted article.
用一首詩，假裝自己是另一個人、一朵雲、一張地圖、
或是一段被刪除的歷史。
Wikipedia is the largest collective memory archive of our time.
Each biography is like a soul flattened into a neutral format.
But what if we slipped into that soul and wrote the poetry it never got to say?
Wikipedia 是世界上最大的人類集體記憶庫。
每一篇條目，都像是一個被壓扁的靈魂，被中立與格式封存。
但如果我們戴上這個面具，讓它說出從未被允許說的詩呢？
