Choosing Sides by Adam Ford: A poetry book launch

Next date: Saturday, 02 May 2026 | 03:00 PM to 07:00 PM

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. Copies of CHOOSING SIDES will be available for sale at a special launch discount price, as well as other books and art by Adam.

CHOOSING SIDES features 25 poems written in direct response to individualissues 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-changingaliens.

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 available at the special launch price of $15.00.
Other books and art for sale at various prices.
