The Last Poet and the Robots

'''Merritt, Abraham. "The Last Poet and the Robots."' Fantastic Magazine'' April 1934. Rpt. Science Fiction: A Historical Anthology, q.v. under Anthologies.

Almost a prose-poem (of the pulp persuasion), "LPR" tells the story of a struggle between a small group of god-like, creative, ruthless human beings and sentient, ruthless, nonemotional, nonartistic robots who have established hegemony over humankind. To some readers, the Last Poet and his human associates may be less sympathetic than the robots.
