Publisher's Synopsis
The first ever Sidekick Books release is a micro-anthology of short poems inspired by computer games, from Bride of Pinbot to Bubble Bobble, Space Invaders to Street Fighter II, Paradroid to Portal. I feel certain that this experiment will prove the much-maligned medium of computer games can provide ample impetus for fresh and inspired approaches to form, imagery and voice, as well as informing the ready wit and intelligence of a generation of poets.
Coin Opera features a roster of superb up-and-coming poets, hailing from London to Bangalore. Click the portrait to find out more about each of them:
