Description
Speculative poetry travels winding roads leading to wondrous worlds, regions never traversed by mainstream verse. Fantastic poems range in the material they treat from the strange but explainable to the utterly fanciful, from horror to wonder, and from the rigidly verisimilitudinous to the purely surrealist. They may utilize traditional prosody or may avail themselves of the discontinuities and fragmentation of modernist free verse. They may use as setting the primary world, a secondary world, or a combination of the two. With roots planted firmly in the mythic and folkloric epics and ballads of yore, and branches reaching high into the endless skies of modern fantasy, science fiction, and horror, speculative poetry is a historic and vital poetic genre. "Enkindling dawns of memory,Each sun had radiance to relumeA sealed, disused, and darkened roomWithin the soul's immensity.Their alien ciphers shown and lit,I understood what each had writUpon my spirit's scroll;Again I wore mine ancient lives,And knew the freedom and the gyvesThat formed and marked my soul." Red Sky features 38 evocative poems from yesterday's masters, modern award winners and emerging stars: Willy In The Nano Lab by Geoffrey A. Landis Cybernetic Sestina by E.S.
