Famicommunist Poetics

"Sonny Rae Tempest summons the airy spirit of big-pixel gaming in Famicommunist Poetics, embedding 8-bit graphics in typewriter concrete and finding other novel relationships between poetry and gaming. What's more, the whole project is presented in phile format, written in an instructional and poetic manner, like an old-school textfile tutorial. While others are satisfied to write their memoir poems about the videogames of yore, Tempest dares to do more: To actually cross the streams." - Nick Montfort, poet, author of interactive fiction, and Associate Professor of Digital Media at MIT "Famicommunist anything sounds good to me!" - Patrick Lemieux, artist, game designer, and Ph.D. candidate at Duke University
