Press start is a book made up of multiple poems connecting both real life and video games, read and witness as the book connects both things into a confusing, interesting and unique book. The book consists of life, heartbreak and healing into a beautiful piece that I hope you can not only relate to, but enjoy and find comfort in. Press start.

Over the course of 2023, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at Story Factory. Their goal was to produce a collection of poetry. This is one of the collections produced in these workshops.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
This project has been supported by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund.
We would like to thank Midland Typesetters for generously typesetting these manuscripts. Thanks also to the poets who visited the workshops and shared their knowledge and passion: BEA, Eileen Chong, Jazz Money and Omar Sakr.
