FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Norilana Books presents
The Journey to Kailash by Rhysling Award-winning poet
Mike Allen (
time_shark), a vibrant collection that gathers 57 poems that explore regions sometimes whimsical, sometimes terrifying, always off the beaten trail.
Sometimes drawing from mythology, sometimes extrapolating bizarre futures, and not at all afraid to blend the two, Mike Allen's poetry still addresses universal themes of love, loss and longing with candor and even humor.
The Journey to Kailash by Mike Allen
"Mike Allen pours everything he's got onto his poem-canvases. Mythologies, science-fiction scenarios, private memories and desires, and untestable ideas crowd and overlay one another upon the pages as if flung from an overloaded brush. Here is a vividly vertiginous collection of poems, all fun and mind-games."
Fred Chappell
"Mike Allen is a poetic Shiva, whirling his thousand limbs to snatch gold from thin air and create these epics-in-miniature, each with its own metallic sheen."
Catherynne M. Valente
