New Speculative Poetry from SFPA Grand Master Robert Frazier Bob Frazier's long-awaited collection of speculative poems, "Life During the Lazarus Age," does not disappoint. Science and fiction mix and blur. Extinct species come back to haunt us while astronautical marvels stun and beckon. Love and loss mingle in almost unimaginable celestial environments. The environs of humanity morph as their denizens mutate and flutter. The lyric beauty of these verses, in which words find new meanings, perhaps more than once in a single poem, could have come from no one else. And just to make things a little more interesting, Frazier throws in a few poems full of magic and nonsense, but pregnant with the threats of every fairy tale you ever read. You need to buy this book; savor every line. -David C. Kopaska-Merkel, SFPA Grand Master About his previous collection Phantom Navigation: "As honest as wheat, as spectacular and absorbing as a dream, Phantom Navigation is an explosion of creativity from one of America's finest poets. Robert Frazier's breadth of vision is extraordinary." - Lucius Shepard "A little Ginsberg, a little Eliot, a little Coleridge, and a lot of storytelling in the sfinal way, yet it is poetry, pure poetry, down to its pretty little ionized toes. How can anyone who loves poetry and sf/fantasy resist this new collection by the master himself." - Jane Yolen About his previous collection Perception Barriers: "Now this is what I feel to be poetry-now and then I feel that cerebral chill; but then it turns me round again with the vivid simplicity of word and image and the purity of his feeling." - Ursula K. Le Guin About his previous collection The Daily Chernobyl and Other Poems: "These poems, about science and memory and snapshots, worry and chemistry and loss, will stay with you a long, devastating while." - Connie Willis His collaborative poem with Bruce Boston. "Chronicles of the Mutant Rain Forest", received first place in the 2006 Locus magazine Online Poetry Poll for "Best All-Time Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Horror Poem".
