Poetry Apps

The mobile phone has evolved at a phenomenal rate from a useful communication tool to your personal, small robot. It's your social network, your pocket tutor, your stylist, your weatherman, doctor, tour guide and companion, personal assistant and playmate in one. Especially popular are the game apps, there are countless games for your phone to donwload. But where's the poetry?

It's time for the next step in the evolution of the mobile phone: wkae yourself with the Blauwbilgorgel, create a typographic experience with the jazz of Paul van Ostaijen or experience any of the other poems from the poetry series apps.
