Multiverse
‘Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.’ Robert Frost.
‘Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.’ T. S. Eliot.
Multiverse brings together the poetry of Science Fiction/Fantasy writer Jan Siegel and five other contributors, also best known in other spheres. The poems cover love and death, feminism and eco-issues – legends and libraries, chemo and cake, pirates and paranoia and Paris. They aim to amuse and enchant you, but above all – like the magical forgotten story in Voyage of the Dawn Treader – they are there for the refreshment of the spirit.

A wonderful collection full of verses that dance from the page. Jan's poetry impresses with elaborate structure yet she makes it all look quite easy. Full of reinvention and meta literary allusion esp. SF&F refs. Four guest poets provide star turns too. Tired poet traps of pretension or ambiguity become liberations here. This was a joy to read.
