Poetic Retribution From Mars by Sylvester Abanteriba Pdf

The leadership of a country under an immense pressure from the world community to reform its atrocious political system, decided to send a spaceship loaded with world-renowned scientists to undertake a make believe research programme on the moon for a period of one year. This decoy did not go as planned and the spaceship, which was largely controlled by computers from Earth, could not land on the moon. Unfortunately, an attempt to bring it back to Earth failed when it bounced off the Earth’s atmosphere and proceeded to fly away at an ever-increasing speed. The marooned scientists developed various means of passing the time while they awaited the inevitable death. However, after nearly a year of wandering through the universe the spaceship landed on a planet, which turned out to be Mars but with conditions completely at variance with what is known on Earth about this planet. What the Martians learnt about the socio-political conditions on Earth displeased them enormously. They therefore sent the scientists back with an ultimatum for the world’s leadership, asking Earth to change its ways so that an acceptable interplanetary discourse could be established. The leadership of the world threw down the gauntlet and embarked upon a secret mission to bomb Mars out of existence. This was detected by the Martians and set the two planets on a collision course, with the winner of the encounter not much in doubt.

Murdered for Extra Seconds of Erection by Sylvester Abanteriba Pdf

An animal that had been killed appears before the creator, seething with a sense of injustice and rage; the creator has the power to grant the animal a return to the cycle of life in a form of its choice. Humans had killed it so that an insignificant part of its anatomy could be used as an aphrodisiac, and now it wants revenge. The animal asks to be returned to earth in the form of a virus with the extraordinary power to humiliate men. The creator agrees, but only on the condition that the agreement should be transcribed into the genetic code of the virus—thus giving humanity a fighting chance. As the virus engulfs the world and wreaks havoc on humanity, scientists must work to determine the source of the calamity and protect people from its effects. The world teeters on the brink of war, and only the efforts of researchers stand between humankind and its complete destruction. In this fiction novel, a destructive virus threatens the world, and only a heroic team of scientists can save humanity from itself.

Poetic Retribution by Rondo Bendi Pdf

A work of great anguish. This book of poetry tells a tale. It captivates, It demonstrates appeal from all angles. Shows a mans bitter life, and hides it at the same time. His encased me in his own soul while reading this book. It even carries a bible-ish quality about it. Like maybe this guy is a prophet. I don't know. The read left me dazed and confused. Aroused, yet flaccid. I'm having a difficult time describing this work... Maybe "You got to see it to believe it." Subjective. Yet straight forward. I say this new poetry composer has upper management written all over him.

Poet on Mars by N.C. Dovegate Pdf

The eerie void of outer space is filled with the ethos of New Mexico's alien wilderness in N.C. Dovegate's second collection of poetry: Poet on Mars. Fascinated and awestruck by the Land of Enchantment, the author's imagination takes mystery and enigma to the realm of narrative. Featuring four short stories alongside an original series of flash fiction, the poet's journey from logic to lore, Earth to the unknown, reads as a chilling reminder that things are not always as they seem and the future may prove stranger than expected.

Mars Being Red by Marvin Bell Pdf

"Marvin Bell has the largest heart since Walt Whitman."--Harvard Review In a recent interview Marvin Bell said, "I've been trying for thirty years to figure out how best to put the news into poems--what other people would call politics. But there are some hairy aesthetic questions connected to overtly political poems." Mars Being Red is the most political book of Bell's storied career--and one of his most beautiful. Infuriated by our country's military aggression and destructive politics, Bell asks, What shall we do, we who are at war but are asked / to pretend we are not? What Bell has done is craft a book of urgency and insight, anger and action: . . . I am, like you, a witness to the coffins that were Viet Nam and Iraq, to a political machine that came up three lemons . . . I am the big ears and the wide eyes to whom time happened. I lived in stormy weather writing songs of love because, tell me if you know, who can help it? Marvin Bell served on the faculty at the Iowa Writers' Workshop for over thirty years. He is the first and current poet laureate of Iowa.

Collected Poems 2006 - 2016 by Shane Crees Pdf

The culmination of ten years study and poetic toil, these collected poems span an uncertain decade finding the author torn between a rural coastal nature and the spirit of Western cultural progress. It contains a manifold of voices united in a uniquely philosophical and poetic perspective, emanating and sometimes indeed hailing from the hinterland of a coastal town in Western Wales. As is the poets' way many musings reflect on values, romance and its relationship to chaos and the decline of youth into the flush of maturity. These are powerful and wide-ranging poems from the turn of the 21st century.

The Martian's Regress by J. O. Morgan Pdf

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE TS ELIOT PRIZE 2020** From the winner of the Costa Poetry Award A lone martian returns to Earth. He leaves behind him a hardened survivalist culture, its muddled myths and songs, its continued abuse of the environment that sustains it. During this journey back to the now-broken and long-abandoned mother planet, the martian begins to consider his own uncertain origins, and his own future. Cut off from his people, the martian's story is that of the individual: his duty at odds with his desire; the race of which he's still a part playing always on his mind, as well as the race that once was. This is the story of what life becomes when stripped of all that makes it worth living - of what humans become when they lose their humanity. The Martian's Regress is a brilliant, provocative, often darkly comic work that explores what a fragile environment eventually makes of those who persist in tampering with it.
