Video games and poetry are unlikely bedfellows, if video games are one of the most popular imaginative forms in contemporary culture, then poetry [real poetry as apposed to the kind you find by the sad flowers in service stations] could be one of the most neglected. Hit Point Red, edited by Aaron Kent and Matthew Haigh, shows where these two disparate worlds meet and how good they are for each other. Featuring a selection of the finest voices in contemporary poetry, Hit Point Red will have you gripped until game over.
