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