What On Earth is This? Or SF Poetry from Ray Bradbury

To my knowledge this veteran author of SF and Fantasy classics has written three books of true poetry, although many of his stories have a lyrical quality that comes to poetry. His first collection; WHEN ELEPHANTS LAST IN THE DOORYARD BLOOMED I haven't been able to find, but this collection, and his third book of poetry,THE HAUNTED COMPUTER AND THE ANDROID POPE. This exploration in verse by Bradbury is fascinating and enjoyable, especially for those who are Bradbury fans to begin with.I will not claim Bradbury to be the most brilliant poet, but there are many gems among these pages. "Byzantium I Come Not From" is a wonderful example of the richness of memory and boyhood summers. His subject matter ranges from childhood memories to popular movies. From heartbreak to The Nefertiti-Tut Express. From ghosts to rocketships and robots. The author brings his lyrical skills, love of sound and word to these themes and more. Anyone who has read Bradbury's books will recognize his themes from books expanded in verse.For anyone who is a wonderer, with a fascination in the what if? the macabre, the fantastic worlds of paranormal side by side scientific and the melding of all these elements, if you can discover a copy of this, read and enjoy. There's nothing quite like them I've found anywhere else.
