Coming soon!!!



Watch this space for some exciting news about the latest publication by Nathan Penlington available in the next few months. 



Now Available:


71% inflated ego/29% somebody else (2004)





This publication turns the conventions of poetry upside down: a fusion of graphic design and poetry, by turns thought provoking and playful. Some have said "I don't know what is post post modern but whatever it is Nathan is doing it" while others have described it to be "poetic pornography for graphic designers". But however you want to describe the book, it is refreashing, contemporary and unlike anything you have seen before:



"Penlington is borrowing the poetry of the language of computer games, drawing the language of Worms™, Micro Machines™ and Tekken™ 3 into the poetic. It is a demolition of poetry of a poetry that had, as its focus, a subject projecting observations of a totally understandable world and from the rubble of this structure raises a new form". (Litmus magazine)
