Poly: New Speculative Writing

by Lee Ballentine (Editor)

"In POLY, the incision of surrealism, the introspection of postmodern poetry, the vocabulary of the sciences, and a measure of science fiction's enthusiasm, are all applied to the theme of the future". "I read POLY with growing astonishment, page after page" (Harlan Ellison). "I enjoyed it thoroughly" (William Gibson). "Brilliant and energetic" (Roger Zelazny). "A dazzling display of wit, erudition, and heart" (Jane Yolen). A truly remarkable anthology of "speculative" fiction and poetry. Contributing writers include Vance Aandahl, Diane Ackerman, Ivan Arguelles, Douglas Barbour, Bruce Boston, David R. Bunch, Andrew Darlington, Peter Dillingham, Thomas M. Disch, Robert Frazier, William Stafford, Gene Van Troyer, Andrew Joron, Georg Trakl, Tristan Tarza, Ray Bradbury, Steve Rasnic Tem, David Lunde, Edward Mycue, Peter Redgrove, Mark Rich, Jonathan Vos Post, and others.
