Vectors: A Week in the Death of a Planet

Charlee Jacob, Marge Simon

“I wrote the original poetry for Vectors during the first seven days of July, 2006, while sicker than usual and unable to get out of bed, somehow imagining there was no one else out there. There will always be those who think the idea too far fetched, that humanity could never destroy itself so utterly, especially in only one week. Yet these poems by Marge Simon and myself were never about science’s purest ground zero but about all our planet’s brethren, reduced to hearts and numbers.”—Charlee Jacob

Shades Fantastic

Bruce Boston

Bruce Boston’s poetry collection contains 37 works, including the winner of the 2005 Asimov’s Readers’Award, “Heavy Weather”, and five poems that are appearing for the first time anywhere.

Sineater: Poetry

Charlee Jacob

Thirty-nine of the darkest poems to come from the pen of one of today’s best horror poets, Charlee Jacob.

The Women at the Funeral

Corrine De Winter

“Corrine De Winter writes like a wounded angel, visiting this planet only as it is necessary to get her message to us, yet not long enough to consume more of our humanity than she has time to transform.” —Stanley Wiater, author of “Dark Thoughts on Writing”

Pitchblende

Bruce Boston

Pitchblend by Bruce Boston collects thirty-two new and previously published poems. Selected and with an Introduction by Michael Arnzen. Illustrated by Marge Simon.

Poems included are “Flesh Bone Blood,” “The Lesions of Genetic Sin,” “Like an Addict Glowing,” “Alien Quarry,” “Pavane for a Cyber-Princess,” “The Canticles of Rage,” “In Far Pale Clarity,” “Ghost Blood,” “The Prince Comes in Velvet,” “She Was There for Him the Last Time,” and twenty-two other poems.

“…Pitchblende is radioactive. It’s a mineralized form of uranium oxide-black and hard and dangerous. It looks something like crystallized coal cracked right out of the gates of hell; it’s darker than tar and stronger than time and its lethal nature is sneaky and invisible and inescapable once you’ve touched it. Killer rock.

A fitting metaphor for the rock solid poetry of Bruce Boston. It’s scary, powerful stuff. And it’s got a half-life that will outlive you. This poetry stands the test of time…” From the introduction by Michael Arnzen

“What a terrific collection of poetry. His voice is unlike anything I’ve encountered before, while at the same time hitting me as though familiar—the way that little voice haunting the back of my mind is always somehow familiar. What an affinity he has for verse and vision.” —Charlee Jacob
