Internet Poetry and Videogame Novels

Techie things like an internet poetry engine and video games meet decidedly non-techie things like books and their authors at the Gladstone tonight. Darren "Typewriter Man" Wershler-Henry and Bill Kennedy are launching Apostrophe and Apostropheengine.ca (not quite up yet). Their site hijacks searh engine results and spins them into poetry. They'll be doing a live demo.

Emily Schultz will be joining them with videogames, 80s classic Combat to be exact. Why videogames? Because her novel Joyland is the story of a 14-year old boy growing up in a Midwestern town and riffs on Reagan, and growing up during the Atari era. Doors at 7pm, Gladstone Hotel, Free.
