FROM THE BACK COVER

Take an intriguing tour of Jason Marchi’s unique insights into human nature through poems written in the diverse genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and the mainstream. From thoughtful reflections on space travel, to the nightmares of our dreamscape, to examinations of love, death, and the human condition, Marchi provides a grand overview of humankind’s wondrous diversity. Through Mr. Marchi’s broad range of topics—handsomely illustrated by Noel Belton—we can sympathize with those who suffer loss and we can celebrate the wondrous achievements of human beings in the face of adversity.
