Format: Saddle-stapled Chapbook This chapbook is autographed by the author. Description: Defacing the Moon covers a five-year period in the creative life of Rhysling Award nominee Mike Allen. It is the second in our line of poetry collections, a worthy follow-up to our first poetry collection, Roger Zelazny's Hymn to the Sun: An Imitation. Mike Allen's poetry has appeared in Absolute Magnitude, Dreams of Decadence, Pirate Writings (which has become Fantastic Stories), Space & Time, and Tales of the Unanticipated as well as numerous other publications. He is the editor of Mythic Delirium, which is now published by DNA Publications. He lives in Roanoke, VA with his wife Anita and a portly black cat named Prowler. "The best genre poetry collection I've seen in many a moon. Whether introducing Baron Munchausen to flying-saucer aliens, attending the deathbed of Edgar Allan Poe, or sojourning through the crumbling gears of a cosmological clock, Allen's voice is rich and assured. This collection is not only worth the read, but worth reading again." -- Bruce Boston, SF Poetry Association Grand Master "These poems reach beyond the narrow, inward-focusing subject matter of so much contemporary poetry to address the hopes and fears of our modern society." -- Jane Lindskold, author of Legends Walking "Awash in nifty ideas, arresting images, and diabolical whimsy." -- Lawrence Watt-Evans, author of Dragon Weather "Prepare to leave behind the couldn't-wouldn't-shouldn'ts of your everyday life. In poems that range effortlessly across time and genre, Mike Allen demonstrates a talent for walking the knife's edge. He can be cruel as space, sad as a bone, and as spare as a vampire's kiss. If you're a fan of the poetry of the fantastic, here is a new voice to celebrate." -- James Patrick Kelly, author of Think Like a Dinosaur. Contents:
