./code --poetry is a colourful cacophony of computer languages.

Authors Daniel Holden and Chris Kerr have created a collection of code poems - poems written in the source codes of a variety of programming languages.

Inside, code and poetry are presented alongside visual artwork with the poetry itself embedded in the source code of a number of programs. Every program is entirely valid, and when compiled and run these programs produce the visual artwork presented alongside the individual poems in the collection.

Lavishly formatted and bursting with colour, this unique book is essential for anyone passionate about visual art, poetry or programming. ./code --poetry is a Rosetta Stone for programmers, restored and rendered for the digital age, highlighting the intersection of three classic art forms.

Industry Reviews

code is all around us. like bacteria. best not to think about how much of it there is. and fungus. we rely on it to survive. but most of us have no idea what it actually does. Holden and Kerr know. they don't tell us, they show us. each poem basks in its own logic. unfolds in its own language. ASCII as love language. code and output. flower and fruit.

- J. R. Carpenter

Poems have always aspired to make something happen. The source codes in ./code --poetry deliver on that promise.

- Pedro Poitevin

I love this! Actually poetic and wonderfully executed.

- Angus Croll

This book explores the aesthetic and rhythmic properties of code poetry in a new way ... It's a really beautiful book.

- Ishac Bertran

This multi-lingual collection of code-poems is an exhilaration both to the mind and senses ... an elegant showcase humming with lyrical and visual energy.
