Poems That Could End the World

An imaginative, gripping collection of speculative poetry embracing science-fiction and horror, Ronald A. Busse's second book is tied to the belief that the end of the world is imminent - whether it be happening now, long ago, or far off in the future. Explore various traditional poetic forms (listed in a handy Poetic Form Index), along with a potent shot of free verse as you encounter the recurring themes of death, environment, climate change, and alien life, while meeting some unsettling characters along the way. A blade of humor carves a chink of light in the darkness.
