From the publisher: “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.”
