Local poet Adam Ford is excited to announce the launch of his new book of poems, the science-fiction poetry collection CHOOSING SIDES. The book will be launched by science poet Alicia Sometimes. The afternoon will feature Adam reading a selection of poems from the book. CHOOSING SIDES features 25 poems written in direct response to individual issues of "Rom", a fan-favourite 1980s comic book that tells the story of a cyborg from space coming to Earth to rescue it from an invasion of shape-changing aliens. The poems in CHOOSING SIDES zero in on the humanity and emotion in these trope-heavy genre-based stories, fusing the calm strength and eye for detail of the poetic form with the unbridled imagination and thrill-soaked tenor of superhero adventure tales.
Copies of CHOOSING SIDES will be available for sale at a special launch discount price of $15, as well as other books and art by Adam.
