THE TERRAFORMERS HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN ELGIN AWARD BY THE SCIENCE FICTION POETRY ASSOCIATION! // THIS TITLE IS A LIMITED EDITION.
The second title in Third Man Books’ limited edition chapbook series, Dan Hoy’s most recent collection of poetry chronicles the last days of an expedition stranded on a desolate planet and beset by depression, sabotage, and failing equipment. In The Terraformers, human life is mediated by domes and pressure suits, and the history of human beings is buried in ecocide, oppression, and longing for the infinite, even if (or because) “the infinite / is death for us.”
