In Deepspace Shadows: A Dramatic Poem in Two Acts by Kendall Evans
New from Mythic Delirium Books, a ground-breaking innovation in science fiction from Rhysling Award-winning poet Kendall Evans, the revised and fully-illustrated edition of his two-act science fiction play in verse, In DeepSpace Shadows. Nebula Award-winning author Sheila Finch dubs Evans' unique creation "rich and strange, as Christopher Marlowe might have written about Deep Space if he'd only known." With a color cover, 36 pages, fully illustrated by Mythic Delirium regulars Don Eaves, Terrence Mollendor and Tim Mullins.
From the back cover: "Why journey to a place of nothingness? For the language that takes you there. Kendall Evans' In Deepspace Shadows: A Dramatic Poem in Two Acts is the future scripted by Cyril Tourneur after Isaac Asimov, an eerie and elegant creation within which conspiracies, mutinies, and madness unfold in electromagnetic pulses and static recharge—stage directions, set design, iambic pentameter and all. Gather four friends; read this mechanical fantasia aloud. Like the light of dead stars, its images will haunt your sky long after their words have been put away." — Sonya Taaffe

The Journey to Kailash by Mike Allen
The second book length collection from Mythic Delirium editor and three-time Rhysling Award winner Mike Allen, and his first in hardcover. In these 57 poems, Allen plunges into places both whimsical and eerie. Whether drawing from mythology, extrapolating bizarre futures (or fearlessly blending the two) Allen's poetry uses a wide range of strange subjects and skewed perspectives to examine the hopes and fears that shape our times.
These signed copies are available only from the author.
"It seems most proper that The Journey to Kailash should include a poem about Jackson Pollock. Like that painter of large-scale states of mind, Mike Allen pours everything he's got onto his poem-canvases. Mythologies, science-fiction scenarios, private memories and desires, and untestable ideas crowd and overlay one another upon the pages as if flung from an overloaded brush. Here is a vividly vertiginous collection of poems, all fun and mind-games."
—Fred Chappell
Poet Laureate of North Carolina, '97-'02
"The Journey to Kailash is an exceptional collection of poetry — a gallery of the grotesque and the luminously strange . . . Whether he's painting an absurdist scene of a satyr in rut in contemporary Boston, or peeling back layers to reveal the sublimely horrific spiritual extremity of a hell-bound soul, Mike Allen's voice is nothing short of mesmerizing."
—Laird Barron
author of The Imago Sequence
"Imaginative, charming, and vivid, Mike Allen's poems in The Journey to Kailash will transport you to a world where Ganesh might be your stepfather or an ATM might eat your personality, where black holes and viruses intersect with mythological characters as well as the paintings of artists like Chagall and O'Keeffe."
—Jeannine Hall Gailey
author of Becoming the Villainess
"Mike Allen is a poetic Shiva, whirling his thousand limbs to snatch gold from thin air and create these epics-in-miniature, each with its own metallic sheen."
— Catherynne M. Valente
The Journey to Kailash is a deeply stirring and memorable book.
