In the editor's words, "If Paradise Lost or The Odyssey were written today, they'd be
considered speculative poetry." Some years in the making, The Stars As Seen from this
Particular Angle of Night brings together the best in speculative poetry—in other
words, science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism or any of their myriad genre
byblows. An eclectic and fascinating collection, The Stars contains award–winning
works from numerous veterans packed cheek by jowl with emerging talent. This
is an anthology full of whimsy and deeper meaning that will delight not only the
literati and other poets, but also those who have always squirmed and muttered
that they have never liked poetry!
Reviews
"This is a wonderful collection of speculative verse, varied in subject, literate in execution."
–Charles de Lint |
