A Danger to Self and Others

By Tyree Campbell

What is the difference between ordinary poetry and science fiction poetry? The answer to this question can be found in Tyree Campbell's poetry collection, A Danger to Self and Others. Science fiction poetry, when it's serious, has the entire cosmos to consider. And when it's playful, it has the entire universe to play with. On the serious side, take a look at Campbell's poem "Evolution," which opens the collection. Or you want playful? Read his poem titled "How the Solar System Really Lost its Tenth Planet," or "Garden Party." And did I mention it has dragons? - from the Introduction by Kendall Evans.Itinerant

the next tree over

lends a view of the plains

what's out there

hunt and gather

settle here and there

oh, look, there's a river

let's follow it

settle here, settle there

move on

a lake, go around it

a sea, cross it

an ocean, explore it

an ice bridge

joins landmasses

to new plains

new rivers

new settlements

moving on

until at last
