Field notes
The page places each poem beside its source headline and names outlets including BandaAncha, MARCA, and La Razón. Its explainer connects the format to Mexican satirical broadsides and José Guadalupe Posada, while describing a workflow that combines local text generation, Python checks, and synthesized narration. The sample includes rhyme and syllable annotations, making some of the verse-checking process visible rather than leaving it entirely behind the scenes.
