Poetry Fruit Machine

‘Poetry Fruit Machine’ is a creative writing deck developed by poets Ella Frears and Jessica Todd, designed to inspire new poetic ideas through play and experimentation. The card deck combines generative writing prompts with classic fruit machine symbols to encourage experimentation, play, and poetic development. The set includes 54 cards featuring formal constraints, chance-based instructions, and unusual creative limitations, illustrated by artist Hattie Stewart. A companion 36-page booklet offers a glossary of poetry terms, bonus games, and guidance on using the cards. Whether you’re facing writer’s block or seeking a fresh approach to language, ‘Poetry Fruit Machine’ offers an engaging, game-inspired way to spark new ideas and explore poetic possibilities.
