Abstract
The life and writing of poets Anne Carson and Nicole Brossard do not invite comparison: Brossard has engaged in formal experimentation at the forefront of an anglophone-francophone dialogue about the personal and political, centred on feminism; whereas, Carson is unaligned with l'ecriture feminin or any national or transnational literary movement. Yet, in the two poets' re-visioning of the way women gaze at women's bodies (including their own) these writers have significant resonance. In so doing, their work, such as Brossard's Journal intime (1998) and Carson's Irony Is Not Enough (2000), bridges the dichotomy of literature and visual culture, especially pictorial experience as theorized by Roland Barthes. The two poets draw on multiple languages and a shared intertextual palimpsest of European modernist literature and art house cinema to create a reflexive intimacy to the author's persona and to the female bodies in the text.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
