Purchase options and add-ons

Chivalry is dead. These knights want Fame. And Fama's a witch.


Follow a band of very different Knights on their quest to become the most balanced, the most tolerant, the most compromising of everyone on the modern political spectrum.


Each knight dares to liberalize and conserve, but who will win the ultimate prize and stay safely in the centre?


A cautionary tale in heroic couplets modeled on Alexander Pope's scathing 18th-century Dunciad.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Three cheers for these writers, who boldly defy

our overlords, with their hearts of stone-

with a poem which might make you chortle, and cry;

both a story told and a gauntlet thrown,

in the court of Fama, where her suitors lie.


One quest has brought them all,

one madness blinds them;

one fate awaits-they'd best not look behind them,

in the court of Fama, where her suitors lie!


-Joe Long, author of Wisdom and Folly: A Book of Devotional Doggerel

    Clever in construction but devastating in meaning. Read if you dare to see Truth laid bare. Congratulations to Fencing Bear.

    I think this a unique work, daring in some ways, and simply fun in others. You can tell a lot of thought went into it. I should hope more like it gets written.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Freedom in Verse
    Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021
    Dr. Rachel Fulton Brown and her merry band of poets have compiled here a fun, pointed collection of verse through the very active Dragon Common Room Telegram chat. The whole point--as I gather it--is that rather than mucking about in the culture wars, we should be out _creating_ culture on our own.

    _Centrism Games_ does just that. It's wonderful to see these modern knights prove that the pen is, indeed, mightier than the sword.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bold, Bawdy, Trenchant, Poignant.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021
    Read this long poem/short book, for its highbrow insight and lowbrow mockery. Both are therapeutic, these days.

    I expected clever cultural critique. That the poem would manage to be thoughtful and affecting, as well, came as a welcome surprise.

    Do be prepared for frank, occasionally rude language, as befits the subject matter.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A poem for anyone game enough to unmask the horrors of the postmodern world
    Reviewed in Australia on March 27, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This poem savagely rips the hearts out of political centrists and moral relativists, and makes them eat it.

    Polite Christians and social Conservatives (so-called) will be offended at the prose in 'Centrism Games', justly so. Readers both Right and Left will be asking themselves "what would I be willing to do for glory in this world?", and at each page realize the inglorious catastrophe of the politically correct, postmodern, subjective and relativistic dogmas that praise tolerance and liberty whilst hell is set loose all around us. Readers will be challenged to overcome their revulsion at the themes and language to see the great moral lesson of this modern-Dunciad: every ticket has a hidden price.

    This is not a Boomer-friendly story.
