TAKE THIS. This brief collection of poems is about games. From "D&D" to "Half-Life 3", many of us are shaped by the games we play. Some of those shapes are in this book.

A nice variety of style and themes, both about games and the people who play them. Even for the games I haven't played, I was still able to follow along and enjoy the poems. I may be biased about this one because there was a number of poems about my favorite game, Fallout.
I’m not a gamer, and I don’t think I have the IQ to follow the terminology of the poetry, but the skill and sheer passion for the subject shine through in this extraordinary book.
