Very nice, thanks. (Could a kindly mod change "Pinksy" to the correct Pinsky? Unless this is a Jewish joke I'm missing the point of...)

Pinksy is the name the tabloids used when Banksy and Pinsky were briefly an item.

Robert Pinsky is awesome - possibly the only Poet Laureate to have written a text adventure.

Bill Manhire, New Zealand's poet laureate, wrote a text adventure called The Brain of Katherine Mansfield.

I don't know if hyper-text/CYOA quite counts as a text adventure, yoink. I know some people say it does but many of those people smell quite bad and more than a few of them went to not-very-good schools.
