Publisher's Synopsis
HERE BE MONSTERS! And not all of them supernatural... In this collection of 22 poems, James P. Roberts explores the ways we reveal our darker sides. Whether it be the gathering of authors at a feminist science fiction convention or the sudden self-destructive hunger for more than just food, --even amidst the endless tape loops of pornography and violence -- these stark portraits are raw comments on a society at once turbulent and promising. Roberts takes the reader through memories of the past and portents of the future - from a Proustian moment at a Dog 'N Suds to the sex life of frogs, sometimes whimsical, sometimes brutally honest. And at the end, a statement whereby hope remains.
