Abstract
A land without poetry In The Journals of Susanna Moodie (1970), Margaret Atwood (1939-) reimagines Susanna Moodie, the nineteenth-century poet and novelist, who enters the “large darkness” that is Canada and fashions her life as a reluctant pioneer. Atwood's Moodie finds herself “a word / in a foreign language,” an apt description of someone alien in her new environment and cut off irretrievably from her old environment of England. As she confronts her new home, she meets what she sees as an uncultured landscape awaiting transformation into a cultured world. For the real Mrs. Moodie, who arrived from England in 1832, Canada was first and foremost a land without poetry. It was not until more than thirty years later that Edward Hartley Dewart (1828–1903) would publish the first anthology of Canadian poetry, Selections from Canadian Poets (1864), designed to “rescue from oblivion some of the floating pieces of Canadian authorship worthy of preservation in a more permanent form.” Casting a wide net that included most of the recognized poets of the period, including Susanna Moodie, he proclaimed that poets should be national heroes, though they would probably go unrecognized in such a young country as Canada: “if a Milton or a Shakspere . . . was to arise among us, it is far from certain that his merit would be recognized.” Canadians, he asserted, must be aware of the vitality and the significance of the poetic mind.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
