Algorithm

By Dave Lewis and Dave Lewis

A collection of poetry that highlights many of the problems facing humanity in the world today and the dystopian direction society is sleepwalking into.

These are poems about artificial intelligence, childhood, death, nature, Welsh independence, culture, race, war, sexism, travel and love.

Lewis does not take a side but instead immerses us in a subject. He is an astute observer who can effortlessly dissect uncomfortable truths and never shies away from the more challenging issues of the day.

Praise for Dave Lewis's poetry:

"Never one to avoid uncomfortable truths, Welsh writer and photographer Dave Lewis has just released Algorithm, his latest brutally honest, searing, wide-reaching and masterful poetry collection. The epic opening poem lays bare many of the negative aspects of the technological revolution by focusing on artificial intelligence (AI), social media, robotics and the Internet of Things, amongst others.

"Dave Lewis's collection delves into so many pasts and presents. His innocent upbringing in the Welsh valleys, travels around Cuba, (I heard the music and tasted the rum) the life of the Spanish poet Lorca, time spent with artists from Tangier, Che Guevara seen through Batman in the sixties, Welsh independence a la Nina Simone, the beauty of the natural world and lost love.

"Whilst many people glaze over and switch off at the mention of poetry this book is a wake-up call to other writers. The poetry is easily absorbed and invites us into a story we are part of. And who knows, following his advice will certainly save you money and might even save your life when Terminator comes calling for you..." - Catrin Collier

"Dave Lewis's work possesses an energy and freshness that lifts his imagery and empathy way above the work of many less ambitious poets." - Sally Spedding

"Dave Lewis is a unique voice in the poetry world." - Moira Andrew
