Stars as Seen from this Particular Angle of Night

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.--Nightfall - Susan A.
