Ten Poets Travel to the Dark Side of the Moon

£8.00

edited by Jon Stone and Kirsten Irving

Release date: 30 April 2025

Long before mankind went to the Moon, we dreamt of it – dreamt of what it’s like to be there, or thereabouts, on the surface or just beyond the exosphere, in every medium from cinema to comic strip.

This book sees ten new cosmonauts resurrect that most rickety, most celestial of technologies – the lyric poem – as a means of reaching out again, further and more fervently than ever before, in a space race from which some may never return. Are they prepared for what they’ll find out there, amid cold craters, micrometeorite showers and radioactive crust?

60pp, ISBN 978-1-909560-39-0

Description

10 Poets is a series of books, each of which sets a decet of poets on a new course, turning their skills to new and surprising ends. Each title in the series takes an existing genre of storytelling and blends in poetic elements. Whether they’re slaying kaiju monsters, spooking us out, solving murders or seducing icons from history, our game bards shapeshift, time-travel and stoke the campfire in their own poetic ways.

Ten Poets Travel to the Dark Side of the Moon sees ten intrepid poets set off for the stars, testing their bodies, their resolve and their navigation skills. From musical legends to mythology to Mare Frigoris and back, they’re on a mission to bring back the finest lunar verse.
