Boston, Bruce; Michael Arnzen (introduction) Marge Simon (illustrations) PITCHBLENDE
USA Dark Regions Press 2003 1888993375 / 9781888993370 First Edition Private Press Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
88pp. Here we have Bruce Boston's latest collection containing thirty-two new and previously published poems. The SFPA Grandmaster has once again delivered a book full of sophisticated and pathos driven work, conjuring visions of mortality and human nature gone astray. Hand-in-hand with Marge Simon's illustrations, we walk through a surrealistic labyrinth garden which would make even Dali blink and admire the inspiration. "Pitchblende is radioactive. It's a mineralized form of uranium oxide--black and hard and dangerious. It looks something like crystallized coal cracked right out of the gates of hell; it's darker than tar and stronger than time and its lethal nature is sneaky and invisible and inescapable once you've touched it. Killer rock. A fitting metaphor for the rock solid poetry of Bruce Boston. It's scary, powerful stuff. And it's got a half-life that will outlive you. This poetry stands the test of time." -- From the introduction by Michael Arnzen. Comments On Poems In This Collection - She Was There for Him the Last Time - "...a spectacular feat of craftsmanship--one I can't recall ever coming across in my reading in our outof the genre.... This may be the greatest long poem in the genre (Science Fiction) has yet produced...." --Trent Walters, SF Site. In Far Pale Clarity "The prodigious and powerful Bruce Boston...traverses...vivid surreal landscapes colored by shifting hues of emotion." --Paul Di Filippo, Asimov's SF.

Like Kurt Vonnegut his humorous side is infused with the dead pan while his more serious work vibrates with cosmological insight.

Couch, Sidereality. "The nice thing about this collection is that you don't have to be a sci-fi fan to grasp the meaning." -- Nancy Bennett, Scavenger's Newsletter

Fine economy of language, an ample dose of clever, yet more than that, these poems offer the reader a distinctive vision of both the everyday and extraordinary. Open A Box Full of Alien Skies and discover dinosaur logic, Medusa on the 'A' Train, dancing robots, Stephen Hawking's cat, the Seven Wonders of the New World, and much more." -- Bruce Boston, author of Masque of Dreams
